Again, limited to one per director, which was actually hardest for Rohmer.

Not particularly comprehensive, but here goes....

1. Sans soleil (1983) - Chris Marker 
2. L'Argent (1983) - Robert Bresson 
3. Paris, Texas (1984) - Wim Wenders 
4. Le Rayon vert / The Green Ray (1986) - Eric Rohmer 
5. Nostalghia (1983) - Andrei Tarkovsky 
6. Sauve qui peut (la vie) / Slow Motion (1980) - Jean-Luc Godard 
7. Sans toit ni loi / Vagabond (1985) - Agnes Varda 
8. Videodrome (1983) - David Cronenberg 
9. Krtki film o milosci / A Short Film About Killing (1988) - Krysztof Kieslowski 
10. Der Siebente Kontinent / The Seventh Continent (1989) - Michael Haneke 

It was hardest to leave out Come and See (Klimov), Wings of Desire (Wenders), Full Metal Jacket (Kubrick), First Name Carmen (Godard), A Short Film About Love (Kieslowski), both A Full Moon in Paris & The Aviator's Wife (Rohmer) and Bladerunner (Scott).

With further honorable mention going to Ariel (Kaurismaki), Carravaggio (Jarman), Chocolat (Denis), Dead Ringers (Cronenberg), Identification of a Woman (Antonioni), The King of Comedy (Scorcese), A Zed & Two Noughts (Greenaway), Down By Law (Jarmusch), Blue Velvet (Lynch), Dark Eyes (Mikhalkov), Cobra Verde (Herzog) and Hector Babenco's Pixote.

The biggest disappointments i've had while checking out work from the 80s came in the shape of Bergman's Fanny & Alexander and Hou Hisiao-Hsien's A Time to Live & A Time to Die.

Be very interested to see everyone elses lists.
