Double-feature (performance deathmatch?) for everyone:

Robert Duvall, Tess Harper, Betty Buckley in Tender Mercies / Theresa Russell in Eureka

But my favorite '83 is undoubtedly Family Game.

Merci! L'ami de Vincent is a film that's really stayed with me since I saw it. Philippe Noiret is called upon by his longtime friend Jean Rochefort to investigate which of Rochefort's exes is out to kill him. Along the way, a more universal theme emerges of how unknowable the people in our lives, even those closest to us, truly are, as Noiret discovers in his journey that contrary to his assumptions, he knows nearly nothing about his best friend. A great exploration of how so many friendships we have as adults are shallow and surface-level by design
