I too just edited, lol.

Just now read this. I was in the same boat.

1989 was so mediocre, Jason Takes Manhattan was actually one of the runner ups for me, lol.

Good God, man.

I was working on this a couple days ago but the 90s were frustrating the ever loving fuck out of me so it's still chilling in my drafts.

1993 is really bad too, but 1989's awfulness is inexplicable after the rest of the decade. Can we just roll that year into the 1990s when we talk about horror? It's unreal.

I've been organizing by flickchart. Though, there is still the problem with the year of a festival/limited release getting priority over actual wide release. 47 Meters Down is a 2017 wide release, but because they toyed with a small dvd release in 2016, they list it as a 2016 movie.

Shocker was good for 1989. Great song, too.

Does The Burbs' count? That would easily be my pick. :p

I used Flickchart for a rough guide. Then I saw other people's list and made one or two changes that didn't show up.

Wikipedia has lists for each year. Some of them are pretty short lists though. Not sure how thorough it is.
