1985

due to this being a timely little vacation from work week, i've been catching up on my 80s films. out of sheer attention for odd details, i started noticing a pattern. i found that most of our cinematic gold from the 80s sprung from none other than 1985. since it was early in the day and my liver was on a timeout, i compiled a list and then cross-checked with imdb. you can thank 1985 for the nuggets of pure entertainment below. you can thank me for taking time out of my busy life to display them in a list. obviously it's incomplete, but it's an excellent sampling that helps to prove my case for just how hard 1985 rocked your asses.

1986 - lucas, ferris bueller's day off, short circuit, back to school, howard the duck, top gun, one crazy summer, the money pit, pretty in pink


i know. you're welcome. 1984-1986 was truly a time for cinematic genius and without me, you wouldn't have all this precious information at your fingertips.
