People like to get all cute on these lists...and throw in some acclaimed film that nobody really watches anymore.

But people watch these movies...more than almost every other ones on any other year list.

Almost every movie from this year is immensely re-watchable and became a crowd classic.

Ghostbusters
Beverley Hills Cop
Terminator
Amadeus
Nightmare on Elm Street
Karate Kid
Gremlins
Indiana Jones
This is Spinal Tap
Revenge of the Nerds
Footloose
Sixteen Candles
The Natural
Splash
Bachelor Party
Red Dawn
Romancing the Stone
Starman
The Last Starfighter
Purple Rain
Body Double
Dune
Conan the Destroyer
Missing in Action
Children of the Corn
Greystoke, Legend of Tarzan
Ice Pirates
Moscow on the Hudson
The Gods Must be Crazy
Blood Simple
The Bounty
Tightrope
Blame it on Rio
Repo Man
All of Me
Paris, Texas

1984
, untouchable year in enduring favorites.

Leading with Armageddon might not have been the smartest move

Christ Almighty. I honestly wonder what movies you actually think aren't shite if you didn't even like these awesome movies. Anyways, I know I'm relatively young, but I agree with the person that picked 2007. That was a great year for movies.

The fact that you started off with this is not a good sign.

And 94 is the best year of film in my lifetime, not 98.

Well I feel sorry for you having to ask that question, if that is any consolation.

Yep. That's one hell of a list. I thought some of those were earlier, but no.

1939 had Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz

Those two alone put '39 in the discussion.

You labeled Saving Private Ryan shite? You are the dumbest most discredited SOB that has ever lived.

Classics, but that's just 2 movies. There were others, but nothing close to the volume of quality in 1984.
