thanks - sadly i don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of acadamey award winning films and the category they won in (Best Makeup in this case).   

 

http://www.boxoffice.../chart/?yr=1981

 

i do honestly feel a little bad in looking up the answer as it's deprived us of an endless stream of early eighties films we thought we'd forgotten about and many we wished we had, but your clue narrowed the choice down too much..

 

interesting trivia topic though - got any more ?

I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath when that movie came out. I went to London to see it. Loved the movie. Best transformation scene ever.

Guess the film....this Black MK2 Cooper 'S' (VLX31G) with Wickerwork sides in this film is a John Sprinzel car and still exists.......should be easy for older TMF members!
