Thought it was a great read. Gotta say I agree...mainly b/c I'm a huge fan of the Karate Kid. 1984 had some classic movies.

A UMD board decided 1989 was the best:
Personally, 2000 may have been top heavy, but Momento, Requiem for a Dream, Gladiator, and Snatch are a hell of a top four.
In terms of amazing one man performances, 2008 may be tops.
1994 also has a huge case. Forest Gump, Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, Leon the Professional, Usual Suspects, Lion King and others (that's just looking at top rated IMDB).
For TV, it's 2006, but I think that's another topic.

1984 is definitely the best year ever for the blockbuster era. I'm gonna guess there was another year before '75 that was as good or equal to it but i'm too lazy to look it up.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Money-wise, yes.
But that doesn't mean it was the best overall year for quality of movies.
Granted - that's coming from someone who thinks GwtW and WoZ are, easily, the two most overrated movies of all time (money-wise and "classic" wise).Comment

Not a bad list - but certainly not great. A lot of movies on the list that really aren't very good movies, but are fondly remembered for nostalgic (and other) reasons.
On the other hand, I guess movies don't necessarily have to be good, but popular for the list to make sense.Comment

The 80s were definitely the best decade for movies, IMO. Just so many funny, classic movies were made then. Most of my favorite movies come from that decade.Comment
