1980s Film Alphabet

By Miss Cellania in Art, Film on Dec 30, 2011 at 9:21 am

I’m not usually good at this sort of thing, but I looked at the 1980s Film Alphabet and could name all the movies! Yes, even Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is under “I”, for the character, I guess. This is a creation of artist Stephen Wildish. Link -via Laughing Squid

    I honestly can’t tell what F, M, U and V are supposed to be…

    I think M is Mannequin. Still stuck on F, U, and V.

    F light of the Navigator
    U ntouchables

    Q is Q?

    I am confounded by M also.

    OK, I cheated… Looked up Q on imdb.com – “Q, The Winged Serpent”.

    Raiders wasn’t know as “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” until the 1990s.

    I can’t figure out A, J, V, X, and Y.

    Z is Zelig? I looked up Woody Allen. I guess not a lot of Z movies in the 80s.

    Vice Versa

    J is Jumpin’ Jack Flash.

    What’s W? Is T (T)he Planet of the Apes? That seems cheap to me. In that vein, could A be (A)n Officer and a Gentleman? V, W, X and Y elude me.

    Thanks for Vice Versa. I had thought it looked like one of those body-change movies, but I could only remember Big of that popular 80s genre.

    I only got one, maybe two. I sure wish a “cheat sheet” of the answers was posted somewhere.
