Playing at the multiplex, on this weekend in 1984: Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Temple of Doom, Karate Kid, Star Trek 3, Police Academy, and The Natural.
Heck of a marquee outside the theater that had that lineup.

Yeah, I came in to say 1984 but it looks like many beat me to it. Ridiculously good year for movies.

1972 (Godfather, Deliverance, Jeremiah Johnson, Poseidon Adventure, The Getaway, Chinese Connection), 1984 and 1985 were 3 of my favorite years.

This last weekend 30 years ago you could have walked into the theater and had your choice of the following:
Ghostbusters
Gremlins
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The Karate Kid
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Top Secret!
The Natural
Police Academy
And you just missed out on Sixteen Candles and Footloose as their theatrical run just ended.
Pretty solid summer lineup.

when providing evidence of how a year ranks as an all-time best, might want to leave off top secret and police academy.

All timer movies from that year, for me:
Titanic
The Apostle

Austin Powers
Then mix in
Jackie Brown

Deconstructing Harry
Donnie Brasco
The Sweet Hereafer
Chasing Amy
The Boxer
Afterglow
And even some original popcorn stuff
Fifth Element
Starship Troopers

Liar Liar
In and Out
Air Force One
Con Air
Face Off
Conspiracy Theory
Contact
Gattica

I think that the older we get, the less excited we are about movies no matter what the level of perceived quality. For example, this 1984 list was pretty awesome when I was 10 years old.

Ghostbusters
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Gremlins
Karate Kid
Police Academy I
Footloose
Romancing the Stone
Star Trek 3
Splash
Purple Rain
Amadeus

The Last Starfighter
The Cotton Club
The Muppets take Manhattan
Nightmare on Elm Street
Sixteen Candles
Top Secret!
The Neverending Story

To my father, who grew up loving old westerns twenty years before this, this list is probably a pile of crap. There are probably a bunch of ten year olds out there just really discovering movies for the first time thinking that this summer is the best ever....Spiderman, X'Men, Transformers, Godzilla, then in a few years the kid will sneak watch Neighbors and 22 Jump Street and then declare this the best year ever for movies....its probably all relative.

Never said it was an all-time best, just would be nice to walk into a theater today and have that kind of choice at the box office.
