Forgotten Films - 1985

1985 is here and we've got a listener recommendation and an awards contender, fished out from the sofa of 1980s cinema, for reappraisal. First up, Alex has picked Wolfgang Peterson's space parable Enemy Mine, as requested by a number of listeners. A purer shot of 80s nostalgia there may not be, but did it do it for Alex and Ben? (Spoilers @ 35m 30s). Then (@ 44m 50s) Ben is trying to go high-brow, by offering up Plenty, starring Meryl Streep. A classy, prestige film for sure, but is there anything for Ben and Alex to get their teeth into? Two very different, noteworthy films this week, and we tried to really do them justice.
