As the year winds down, we hit a strange lull. There are definitely some highlights like Terry Gilliam's amazing TIME BANDITS, but we've got some weird jailbait fantasies by filmmakers who should know better, a not-really-based-on-a-true-story love-on-the-run comedy with some chaaaaaaaaaarming actors, a compilation of great animation surrounded by some decidedly not great animation, a heartbroken work by a director in decline, and an amazing thriller gem from Down Under.

Only two more two go after this, and we'll be done with two of the ten years of this project! That's insane! What more incentive do you need? Hurry up and listen, because it's November of 1981!
