Of that bunch:

Atlantic City -- Denis Heroux and John Kemeny, Producers
* Chariots of Fire -- David Puttnam, Producer
On Golden Pond -- Bruce Gilbert, Producer
Raiders of the Lost Ark -- Frank Marshall, Producer
Reds -- Warren Beatty, Producer

I think Chariots is the least offensive. Let's face it - Atlantic City had boobs and great Norma aria (was it Callas? I think so...), but it was an ultra-sentimental kaka. On Golden Pond was I thought so silly and corny I had syrup all over my pants. Raiders? Pass on. Reds? Oh, boy...

The Chariots might not be a great film, but that company did make it stand out.

I don't recall that year - what else was out there then? Could it have been as lean as this list indicates?
