Well if something like Princess Mononoke can get #8 on the 1997 list and #26 on the 1999 list, I guess it doesn't matter either way. 🤷‍♂️

What a tremendous year for movies. It actually makes you sad, doesn't it? What's the point of tracking box office in this day and age?

I'm just going to campaign for Kiki's Delivery Service for best movie of 2019. Hey it didn't have a BOM listing until this year!

To each their own, I guess.

Just wanted to add Monsieur Hire (released 1989), but BOM says 1990...

 

Is it possible Kuduz did not get a release in dom or did they write it in another way? Can't find it in BOM

 

Lots of foreign language movies I can't find....

[terrestrial]

aaahhhhh @Plain Old Tele push for re-releases too?

Lawrence of Arabia (re-issue) (1989)

I can't find a release date on IMDB either and Wiki just says 1989 so looks like no domestic release.

 

Reading Wiki it says release date was in Yugoslavia in March 1990 so '89 may have been a festival play.

You can choose whatever movie you want to but it has to be listed as a 1989 movie on boxofficemojo.com

 

Grave of the Fireflies released in Japan in 1988 but in the US in 1989 but only a tiny run, so BOM only lists its 2018 rerelease. 

 

But it is essentially a 1989 film if you are not Japanese.

Acc to IMDb it had no release here in Germany as well, but I've seen it, so there is something wrong

 

Its a bit confusing, quite some titles of the top Germany list are 1988 in dom, incl our #1 and #2

 

I'll get used to it 😉

I have not seen mentioned this one:

sex, lies and videotape

[terrestrial]

This drives me nuts:

Kuroi ame aka Black Rain (the Japanese Version) is an 1989 film, acc IMDb released in the US in 1990, but BOM again does not list it under those names. So how to check what BOM says?

I mean it won e.g. in Cannes and..., also got nominated best foreign film at the Independent Film Awards, it should be to find at BOM under whatever name???? I get it's probably not 1989, but would love to find out its freaking name at BOM anyway, also in preparation for a list someone might make for whatever year it counts to.

Bcs one thing I am sure about: who has seen it wont ever forget it.

Baumer please can we have a rule that any list not including Last Crusade is automatically disqualified.

Not this much of an asshole to do this, but if we're going by BOM, re-releases from 1989 are also eligible.

 

Very funny....No.

Sorry,  baumer said it has to be on box office mojo.

Watch Akira instead!

 

Sorry, if it is not on BOM, then as long as it is imdb, and this one is, then it is fine.  IMDB says its 1989, so it counts.
