5 Off My Head - Siri Says 1980

We normally post our "Siri Says When" series on Tuesdays but everything's been thrown out of whack... well, full stop. Everything in the entire world has been thrown out of whack since last Tuesday. So we're off a day. You're lucky it's just a day and we didn't just drop dead, really. (You might be lucky but I'm not so sure I'm lucky to still be breathing at this point, honestly.) Anyway here we are and Siri told us the number 80, so it's The Movies of 1980 today. A pretty good year! I mean it gave us both Can't Stop the Music and Naked Richard Gere, so clearly. Plus these five movies besides...
