Thanks, kind sir.

1984 films I'll vote for that are missing from the list (and from snapshot):

Oguri, Kayako no tameni
Bellocchio, Enrico IV
Zulawski, La femme publique

For everyone: I'll also especially recommend folks add to their "to view" lists Morita Yoshimitsu's Tokimeki ni shisu [Death in the Throes of Ecstasy]. Iwai Shunji (All About Lily Chou-chou, Love Letter) says he wore out his VHS tape of this, his favorite movie, back in the day.

I'd also recommend, as a delightfully fun diversion, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. My college roommate's uncle wrote both it and (surprisingly) New York, New York.

Please add La Diagonale du fou, the Michel Piccoli playing chess thriller that includes at one point a mystical guru face-off so outrageous that of course it was based on a real thing that actually happened!

Also two Jessica Lange movies are missing: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Rip Torn giving an incredible Big Daddy as only he can; and Country, where hers was one of three (!) Best Actress nominees for farmers this year. And also MIA is Racing With the Moon, with what is surely Elizabeth McGovern's most adorable perf

And it's listed but of course everyone should see the singular the Annunciation, wherein the history of mankind is enacted wholly by children. More thoughts on the film here

I've added all of yoshimori and domino's suggestions, thanks!

Can you also please add Les ripoux (and its sequel Ripoux contre ripoux for 1990) (and Racing with the Moon still doesn't show up for me)

Racing with the Moon still doesn't show up for me

Sorry, missed that, should be there now
