The blockbuster sequel to Sar Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, invited both young and old alike to join in a galactic fantasy, and became the top mon- ey making movie of the year. The Shining, Friday the 13th, Ter- ror Train, Prom Night, Don’t Go in the House and a variety of other horror films pandered to the morbid fears of the public. Another of the top grossing movies of the year was the Olivia Newton-John — ELO musical, Xanadu. Other musicals. Fame and Divine Madness, also drew large audiences. Movies like Urban Cowboy, Bronco Billy and Honeysuckle Rose signaled the end of disco do- mination, and introduced a lot of city slickers to country music. The one disco offering. Can’t Stop the Music, proved to be a box office flop. Comedy had a wide variety, from the crime and car smashing of the super-hit The Blues Broth- ers, to the friendly skies of Air- plane, to a little religion in Oh God, Book II. The last movies of stars Peter Sellers, The fiendish Plot of Dr. Fue Manchu, and Steve McQueen’s The Hunter went un- acclaimed. Some real forgettables of the year proved to be The Black Hole, Zombie, and Mid- dle Age Crazy. Some fine dramas were also presented: Ordinary People, The Elephant Man, Coal Min- er’s Daughter, The Black Stal- lion, Dressed to Kill, and The Blue Lagoon. Television had a slow year. The actors’ strike caused networks to offer little but reruns well into Oc- tober. One notable exception was the presentation of Clavell’s Sho- gun, a highly rated miniseries. Many shows returned with changes — perhaps the biggest loss was the reported death of Edith Bunker on the series Archie Bunker’s Place. News magazine formats were big: 60 Minutes, 20 20, Hour Magazine, NBC Magazine, Ex- tra, Dimension Five, Donahue and others. The biggest new trend however was in pseudo-documen- tary reality programming: That’s Incredible, Real People, Those Amazing Animals, often presenting people as stars who perform bizarre and often danger- ous exploits. Even with a minimal crop of good movies, the vast wasteland of television drove many viewers out for their enter- tainment.
