Ahhh, April. It's not summer yet, but the holidays are done, and in 1983, studios didn't know what the hell to do with themselves. Fassbinder's final feature film, some more teen sex comedies, a horror film that's barely a horror film, another horror film that is mainly a great poster in search of a movie, OJ Simpson and a dog, and possibly one of the best Italian knock-off post-apocalyptic films ever made... and that's just the start. Do you like Chuck Norris? Why? Even if you don't, though, ...

Before we even get into how surprisingly good this month is, let's just say there's a movie here that could be considered one of the most influential movies almost no one has seen, and without telling you what it is, I'll just say that we'll cover a lot of hip-hop films this decade, and it all starts here. Did we mention it's March of 1983already? And that it's a better month than we expected? I mean, we can make the case for at least two all-timers this month, and maybe three, and that's not co...

Okay, you know what? 1983 is already getting really interesting. Think about what we get to talk about this week. Bukowski. Wim Wenders. The Year Of Living Dangerously. Pinter. Hal Ashby. The Rolling Stones. Gilbert & Sullivan. Linda Ronstadt. And at least three genuinely all-time great films that I haven't even hinted at? I see you, 1983, and I like where you're going. Let's do this.

Here we go: We've talked some trash about 1983 as we've been ramping up to it, but let us assure you... we are going into this just as excited as we are about any month of any year of this project. This is where it starts to feel like we're really doing this. 1981 was fun. 1982 was easy. But 1983 is our fourth season of the show, and it's the moment when the multiplex started to explode across America. More screens meant more films, and more films meant more variety, both in subject matter and ...
