Pick: Which movies would you go see in the theaters in 1984?
Does bustin' make you feel good?
George Orwell had dire predictions for 1984. He envisioned a dystopia. But would a dystopian society have offered up both Ghostbusters and Gremlins in the same weekend? We think not.
The cinemas were stuffed with beloved movies in 1984. Sure, there were a ton of sequels, but several iconic franchises also kicked off. Besides, the sequels were good!
Let's take a look at what was on offer throughout the year. If you had to see one of the movies on a given weekend, which would it be? See how your taste compares to others!
