Two of the things we love on Screen Drafts are ongoing Draft series, and the films of the 1980s. So it stands to reason that we would eventually launch an occasional Draft series going through each and every year of the 1980s with '80s expert, and Screen Drafts MVP, Drew McWeeny (The Last '80s Newsletter You'll Ever Need)! 
In the inaugural installment, Drew is joined by his old buddy and former '80s All Over producer Bobby Roberts to competitively / collaboratively rank the 9 best films released in the U.S. during the first year of the decade: 1980!
