We'll see how long this lasts, but I will try to keep track of every movie I'm watching for 1986
as I see them! So here: the first ten movies I watched, in order of viewing.
Top Gun
dir: Tony Scott
scr: Jim Cash/Jack Epps, Jr., from the article "Top Guns" by Ehud Yonay
Oscar Winner: Best Original Song ("Take My Breath Away")
Oscar Nominee: Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing
