Now i wanted to know abt the entire best films list in the time between 1980-2000.

ok, let me list a few movies post 1980 that I've enjoyed a lot, with brief intro.

ஜானி, 1980, directed by Mahendran, music by IR, Rajinikanth (2 roles) and Sridevi.

The mature love between stage singer Sridevi and clever criminal Johnny is one of the best portrayed in TF. One has to be prepared for the relaxed way of story telling by the director and not become impatient, wanting many "sudden-events"

மூன்றாம் பிறை, 1982, directed by Balu Mahendra, music by IR, Kamal / Sridevi.

The exquisite love and affection the school teacher Kamal showers on Sridevi, a "girl-in-woman's-body" (due to accident / amnesia), is poetic.

பயணங்கள் முடிவதில்லை, 1982, directed by R Sundarrajan, music by IR, Mohan / Poornima Jayaraman

A musical love story with seven fantastic songs placed in nice situations - the love between the singer Mohan and poet Poornima is soft and heart warming

சலங்கை ஒலி, 1983, directed by K Viswanath, Thamizh version of Telugu Sagarasangamam, music by IR, Kamal / Jayapradha

Showcases Kamal's classical dance capabilities with award winning music score by Raja. The platonic love between the leads is one of the best "soft and soothing" on screen

சிந்துபைரவி , 1985, directed by K Balachandar, music by IR, Sivakumar / Suhasini / Sulakshana

Story of a classical singer who falls into an adulterous relationship with a fan who challenges him to take classical music to all classes of people. Another award winning score by Raja
