Quite a few turkeys there, too. Only 9 are on my list of really good flicks, and several are on my list of never agains. |

In my early 20s, I literally lived in the movie theater in 1984. I saw most on the big list at least once in the theater with at least one of my brothers or sisters. Only 3 on the big list I've never seen. Only a handful I first saw on VHS or HBO. This is my favorite movie year ever. Plus so many good family memories when we all were still alive and young. 2010: The Year We Make Contact Dune Ghostbusters Gremlins Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Star Trek III: The Search for Spock The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension The Last Starfighter The NeverEnding Story The Terminator Dang, this was hard. I have more than 10 favorites from this year! |

Okay, to choose 10, in alpha order: 2010 Dreamscape Ghostbusters Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Runaway Splash Starman Star Trek III: The Search for Spock The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension The Terminator Honorary Mention: Red Dawn (Loved it back then, but my attraction to it has waned as I have grown older.) These are ones I'd watch again. The others I either wouldn't, never saw in the first place, and still have no interest in. |

Conan the Destroyer Ghostbusters Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Star Trek III: The Search for Spock The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension The Last Starfighter A pity Ladyhawke just missed the date range. You're young, King Monkey. 1984 was yesterday. |

I didn't remember there were so many in just that year. What a great time to be alive. Well, I was in my 20s, so of course it was a great year to be alive. |
