FYI, we haven't named a Best Picture winner, and I'm racking my brain for the next round trying to figure out what it was.

Pink Floyd's The Wall (I think I lied about my age to get in to this when I was a senior in high school... or, more precisely, the summer before I was a Senior in High School... Wait... that makes it 1983... Damn... too late...)

Gremlins only came to mind for me because the PG-13 rating turns 33 this year, and I know that Gremlins was one of the movies that precipitated the rating's creation.

Fun fact, since we've been talking about him during this game: Steven Spielberg was the person who suggested to the MPAA that they create a rating between PG and R.

My last guess is The Terminator.

Dammit, didn't notice the round reset.

Ok, I worry this was 85, but for Best Picture Oscar.... Out of Africa?

Update: double dammit!

Checking after your guess (or someone else's) is fine- you've already committed at that point. So no worries for any of y'all

Zen- Pink Floyd's the Wall- not released in 1984
Bluedevyl- The Terminaor- 21st
poorpete- Out of Africa- not released in 1984

Hints are up!
