I can't think of any to challenge it.

It's certainly my favorite 80's movie, and beautifully filmed and acted, but as far as best movies what about Gandhi, Chariots of Fire, Amadeus or like, Cinema Paradiso to name a few?

reply

Those. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Raging Bull were great too.

But I love this one so much. It's on Netflix right now.
