He has good things to say, but by his track record he hasn't really done anything to try to open windows for hollywood filmmaking, no, on the other hand he is one of the ones responsible for box office obsessive filmmaking. But, on the other hand thats who he is, its a pity that Hollywood had to sorta follow him.

Time Bandits was '81 but was still showing for much of '82. If we're talkin' about all of '82 then we can't leave out "Conan The Barbarian".

You are right! And I didn't forget "Wrath of Khan " I was talking about the whole year of 1982. Wasn't TIME BANDITS 82'as well?

And don't forget John Carpenter's "The Thing"!"Wrath" actually came out in the spring of '82.

The end of 87' and the year of 1988 as I remember was the weakest period. Because we had a lot of baby movies and a lot of body switch movies.

i recently watched this entire doc on DVD (with Wim Wenders commentary as well) Quite fascinating. Interesting that the overall attitude from the european filmmaking community was that this was a bad time for cinema, a decline. Where as i think of it as the last renaissance in many ways, though i understand the flipside argument. I think the real decline came by the end of the 80's

1982! Wow! That was a stellar year for sci-fi and fantasy! E.T. yeah...but also BLADE RUNNER, TRON, DARK CRYSTAL, and STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN...to name a few...
