30 Years Later – The Films of 1986

What is the greatest year in cinematic history? Not the year featured in the films, but the year with the most amazing lineup of films? Ask 100 people and I bet not a single one of them would ever say 1986.

Sure – you know a lot of awesome movies came out in the eighties, but how did that one year host so many amazing, iconic, legendary films… films that we would still be celebrating 30 years later : Aliens, Platoon, The Transformers: The Movie, Top Gun, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Labyrinth, Stand by Me, Big Trouble in Little China, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Little Shop of Horrors, Crocodile Dundee, The Golden Child, Howard the Duck, An American Tail, Pretty in Pink, The Karate Kid Part II, Back to School, The Fly, Highlander….
