We did not deserve 1984.

Also came out in 1984: 1. Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock 2. Splash 3. Romancing The Stone 4. Amadeus 5. Dune 6. Once Upon A Time In America It was truly an incredible year.

Best movies and music came from the 80s.

You are 100% correct

No, We did deserve it and it was great. We DON'T deserve what we have now.

According to Ryan Reynolds, the '80s were so awful that we had to cover it up with puppy dogs and rainbows thanks to cocaine and Tom Cruise.

@4thOfJuly365 Ryan Reynolds still has nightmares.

1984 - Michaelmania and the Victory Tour ✌️

Yet that’s exactly what we are living through right now is…1984

And then Christmas hit: Wham! - Last Christmas Band Aid - Do they know it's Christmas? Queen - Thank god it's Christmas.

I think I spent more time in movie theaters in 1984 than any other year of my life, and this montage is the evidence of why.

Can you believe all of those movies were from one year? We are lucky if there is one good movie a year now. And they still don't compare to a good movie back then.

We don't deserve the 1985 we're getting nowadays either...

could have done without footloose

Do other gen Xer"s like me realize how truly good we had it?? God,I miss it

Thats called a Killers Row.

Facts

Insane year for movies and music. 84-87

Damn , those movies were great! Now they all (99.9%) suck ass!! How do we replace Hollywood??

Greatest year in pop culture……

F U Ryan Reynolds

Cinema died when it went from photo-chemical to digital. Same with the music "industry".

We deserve 1984 every year. Never say you are not worthy.

I remember it. I was still in high school. Lots of great flicks then.

I was born in 1984. Great year. 🥰

Don’t forget Van Halen 1984 too!

💯💯💯

The year I turned 7. The world was magical and the music was everything.

The best year of the 80’s all around in my opinion

@4thOfJuly365 Dude! I was 14yo, and had the greatest Summer ever! 🙌 The only thing missing from this post is .29 cent burgers, black-ball 34th Street Newport Beach, & South Coast Plaza Mall! 🤩

7 years old in 2nd grade. I wouldn't trade in my childhood for the world.

Ahhh.... back when most movies were original and not just reboots, sequels, and superhero movies.

We had so much to choose from and it was wonderful. The last time I went to the movies was last summer to see a movie celebrating 50 years (Jaws)! Before that, it was more than 10 years since I was in the theater. We saw Annabelle. There just aren't new movies I want to see.
