Pop that tape in, I got you, let's go do this! #physicalmedia #top10 #movies #4k #dvd #Top25 #rankings
We'll probably be lucky if we can name 5 decent movies in 2024...
@@aldunlop4622 sad but true
Good post but these type of lists sometimes seems a bit myopic.
Stagecoach, Gone with the Wind, the wizard of oz, and several others were all released in 1939.
Its why 1939 is considered one of the best years in movies.
The eighties were overall great for movies. But how many broke ground? Were significant? Only time will tell.
The Terminator, Gremlins, Dune, The Search For Spock, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Top Secret, Beverly Hills Cop, The Last Starfighter, The Karate Kid, Missing in Action, Red Dawn, Romancing the Stone. Damn fine movies in 1984.....
IN ONE YEAR! Seriously, Hollywood has no fucking ideas anymore.
I watch Gremlins and Beverly Hills Cop once a year. Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 during the summer and Gremlins for Christmas. Immortal classics 😊
My top 10….
10-Temple of Doom
9-Karate Kid
8-Search for Spock
7-Nighmare on Elm Street
6-Beverly Hills Cop
5-This is Spinal Tap
4-Once Upon A Time in America
3-The Killing Fields
2-Terminator
1-The Natural
Let's go do this!!
Romancing the Stone, Blame It on Rio, This Is Spinal Tap, The Bounty, The Natural, Purple Rain, The Philadelphia Experiment, Amadeus, and more . . .
The Natural made my list but all of the other films you mentioned help show the depth and strength of 1984 as a legendary year for movies!
Loving the channel! I’d would give Romancing the Stone and Purple Rain honorable mention
Love romancing the stone!! It is a testament to how strong 1984 was!!!
And thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you are enjoying it, I am havso much fun with it!!!
Great list! I still haven't seen night of the comet, gonna have to get around to it. I was 4 in 1984 and remember seeing Ghostbusters at the theatre. That librarian transformation hooked me. "I got a plan. Get her!!!"
We are about the same age so I am sure you'd like Night of the Comet lol - and to this day my mom will tell you I talked about the Slimer and Stay Puft scenes for months after we saw Ghostbusters in the theater lol
And thriller to boot - awesome year for music and theatre
thriller is basically a horror short film that was ground breaking and cna be argued for that year too!
I think 1994 would get my vote overall but 1999, 1984, 1982, 1976 and 1975 would be in the debate.
Ahhh! Good years but shhhh, some of those just might be part of this overall series of videos that I am going to go through on our way to the overall year rankings! Stay tuned 😁
Films I saw at the theater in 1984: Amadeus, The Natural, Indy, Gremlins, Friday 13th: Final Chapter, Terminator, Ghostbusters. I am surprised Amadeus did not make your list. Amadeus is #2 on my all time favorite list. Friday 13th: Final Chapter IMO is the 2nd best of the franchise after the first film. The heroine was excellent. Final chapter also had a great promo. The film was released on Friday the 13th, the tagline in the promo was "Friday April 13th will be Jason's unlucky day". I think "Final Chapter" was supposed to be the last film but it was successful so the franchise continued. As for years I enjoy. The 90s is my favorite decade for film. I like the look of the films in the 90s, I have read a different film stock was used in the 90s. I would like to see best lists for 1995, 1997, 1999.
There are some 90s years thar are going to be a part of this top 10 years series that I go through before doing a final whole year ranking... Amadeus was a heavy award darling film but just not the type I was into then - BUT it certainly adds to the crazy depth and quality of 1984!!
1985 - Back to the Future, The Re-animator, Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Police Story, Rocky 4, Silverado, Rambo First Blood Part 2, The Goonies, The Breakfast Club
shhhhh dont tell anybody about 1985, it might be one of the years on an upcoming video that gets in the mix for the final overall year rankings LOL
1985: Brazil, Witness, Mad Max: Thunderdome, Cocoon, The Color Purple, Blood Simple, Into The Night, Vision Quest (introducing a lot of people to Madonna), Ladyhawke, Fletch, St. Elmo's Fire, Explorers, European Vacation, Fright Night, Weird Science, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Commando, Silver Bullet, To Live And Die In L.A., White Nights, Young Sherlock Holmes, Spies Like Us, Runaway Train, Clue, Legend, Enemy Mine. And it was considered a down year for revenue.
Great list! Have all but 2 on UHD on your list. Wish I got to see these films when they came out to theaters, I was born that year! So many things came out that year, like the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic, in which I'm a proud owner to have in my collection of American pop culture!
I'm about a half a decade older than you but that made me fortune enough, even as a little kid, to see more of these in the theater! I remember getting to sit in the middle and hold the popcorn for my parents while watching Ghostbusters!! Epic!!
@AVAPopCulture That must have been awesome to experience that year! I'm just glad my family allowed us to see all of these films in the late 80's and 90's.
Some great films in 1984, seen a lot of the films you mention (such as Conan, Gremlins, Nightmare etc) though personally my favourite year has to be 1971 - guess everyone will have their favourite years for movies, music etc
1971 might be one of the years in the video series that challenges in the final overall year ranking video I do at the end! Stay tuned lol
I left high school in 1984, and lost my virginity on New Year's Eve! So yeah, got lots of happy memories from then.
Memorable lol
Great list. 84 is one of my favourite years for films. My top 15 are:
15 C.H.U.D.
14 Invitation To Hell
13 The Philadelphia Experiment
12 Best Defence
11 Too Scared To Scream
10 Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom
9 Silent Night, Deadly Night
8 The Terminator
7 Pieces
6 Alley Cat
5 A Nightmare On Elm Street
4 The Evil That Men Do
3 Star Trek 3: The Search For Spock
2 Police Academy
1 Beverly Hills Cop
Even though I only listed my top 15, Ghoulies and Children Of The Corn made my top 20.
1984 was a great year for movies. I submit 89 as even better. As someone who was 13 in 1984, I must admit many of these films feel like nostalgia picks more than "great", but I get it.
However, Brian De Palma's BODY DOUBLE is a film that was highly controversial and received mixed reviews at the time, but has appreciated over the years and is one of my favorite films of all time.
1989 was a great year! It just might be one of the years on my list that I do in this series of videos before we get to our overall year rankings!!! stay tuned lol
The first Conan is epic as Arnold has great allies. Ghostbusters is just a magnificent horror comedy. The Last Starfighter should have started a franchise. I wrote a Ghoulies short story on Wattpad entitled: Ghoulies: The Shadow Creed.
I love the first conan.... and Ghostbusters made it into my top 5 favorite films of all time on that list video I did because I think it has a little bit of everything!
if 1984 is not your favorite year, don't worry, there are at least 9 more Legendary years to come in this video series before the final video where I give my rankings of the Top 10 Years in Movie History!!
Haha I’ve watched a ton of movies and still haven’t seen Firestarter. I never got into Dune either, it had a cult following but that’s it. Night of the comet is great. I missed out on those Conan box sets
Police academy was so good they gave us a cartoon. Friday the 13th good stuff!
Haha the naughty Pg movies there were a few. All my kids grew up on neverending story temple of doom is iconic. 80s Eddie Murphy could do no wrong.
My wife and kid hate the Gremlins they both have nightmares, I have to watch it every year by myself it’s my favorite Christmas tradition.
I would have had to pay up after market for Conan if I hadnt gotten so lucky finding it... Firestarter isnt my favorite and try as I might, Ive never been able to get into Dune for some reason
How is Once Upon a Time in America not on this list? It should really be in the top 5, but to not even have in the top 25 disqualifies the entire video.
everyone has their own top 25....It just isnt one of those nostalgic and iconic movies for me BUT it does add to the strength of the 1984 slate... no matter what top 25 you put together from over 200 official releases, youre going to leave one off that someone else really loves!
@@AVAPopCulture if my memory of your video is correct, you also left off Amadeus and Paris, Texas. If you’re going to leave off movies that are widely considered one of the best from a year an explanation would be nice.
Do your own video. Wise guy.
@loltanios the explanation is it is my top 25 list, not everyone else's lol...those movies add to the strength of that year but that doesn't mean they are what I consider my top 25
OK let me stop you right there. 😄 I JUST bought Firestarter on Blu-ray like two weeks ago after many years of being occasionally curious about it. (It was buy one, get one free, so Crazy Stupid Love came home too.)
I still haven’t seen it, so I’m gonna come back to this video after watching it. Don’t want to hear any opinions yet. Don’t have high expectations, but it really seems like it might be a fun, if slightly dark little flick. And if this is at 25, yeah… 1984 might take it. Though ‘85 might be close… or maybe I’m thinking music releases, heh.
Lol no spoilers from me! And 1985 might just make the top 10 years in this series before I am finished and do the final whole year ranking video! 😁
1939!...also, Bachelor Party is the greatest sex 1980's comedy ever IMHO!
1939 just might be on my list to cover in this series of videos before I do an overall yearly ranking... stay tuned 😁
I have to go with 1974 when Zardoz came out
1974 just might be one of the years in this series of videos that fights for the #1 overall year! stay tuned! lol
I would remove several of your picks, and replace them with Amadeus, Johnny Dangerously, This is Spinal Tap, Streets of Fire, Repo Man, Swing Shift, Bachelor Party, Tank
Shows how deep 1984 is!
For sure the best year was 1976- Rocky, Network, All the Presidents Men, Taxi Driver, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Marathon Man Logans Run, The Eagle Has Landed, The Enforcer for example.
1976 just might be one of the years that is in the running in this series of videos!!! Stay Tuned lol
yea 1994 & 1999 are definitely top years for me! 2004 too... You kinda just gave me an idea for a video actually 🤔different than yours of course lol
there is a good chance you are going to see 1994 in this series of Movie Year videos before I do the final video where I rank all of the top 10 years as a whole!
@@AVAPopCulture I definitely figured when you said there was a whole series, 1994 is too iconic not to be an episode
@@thelastmoviestanding yeah 1994 will have something to say about things LOL
@@AVAPopCulture oh & I forgot to add, Neverending Story was also PG & had nudity in it.. they statues with the big ass tittties... SHIITTT!! lmao I miss the 80s
Beastmaster form 1982 was PG & has full frontal nudity
Seen OG in theatre that has been since demolished got the tape soon after for 80$ my friend got same tape for a lot less weeks later
Only 1 special effects company
I thought you would mention the movie written on your hat. That's at least one of the top 10 movies of 1984.
My hat is return of the living dead! It came out in 1985 or it would have made the list!! It is in my 1985 list!!!
@@AVAPopCulture Oh, I thought it was referencing the 1984 John Carpenter movie, Starman.
@user-ed4fv9nd3b hahaha I thought you might think that after I replied! It says "Tarman" from Return of the living dead 😁
1999 was a great year.
It may be one of the ones in this series of videos! Stay tuned lol
Hands down 2024 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's waay better films that year. 1984 was a great film
Tons of great films that year...I don't know if I'd say 1984 is way better than the films on this list lol but that is what makes lists fun and shows how deep this year was for cinema! What other films do you think should have been on the list?
1989>1984
1989 might be one of the years that I do in this series of videos before ranking the top 10 years overall!!! Good year!
Paris, Texas
Top Secret
This is Spinal Tap
Nausicaa
Blood Simple
Favourite year: 2001
2001 may be looked at for this video series!
@@AVAPopCulture Excellent 😎
Be sure to watch Happiness of the Katakuris (2001) first 🙂
Ghoulies-I wasn't a big fan of. maybe the satanic crap that just turn me off a bit.
Dune is movie that is not for every.
the last starfighter is a wonderful movie and was the last movie Robert Preston appeared in.
Gremlins is a wild ride horror and choas.
The Natural is a fine movie.
Conan the destroyer. ok movie but man, that deal you got for both conan movies is a freaking steal man.
Police Academy is by far the best of the whole series.
ST: III search for Spock is a good trek film.
Temple Of Doom and boy that movie really gave some people serious concern about pushing PG ratings limits. it also spark a change in the rating system that year with Red Dawn being the first movie to be PG-13
Dreamscape is wickedly wild.
Karate Kid is a fantastic film.
This Is Spinal Tap. this one goes to 11
Starman is slow but a good movie.
Cannonball Run II is a fun sequel but the original is better.
Runaway. what not to like about Geme Simmons from Kiss giving Tom Sellick a bad day.
The Philadelphia Experiment sadly underrated
Johnny Dangerously is fun and goofy.
Greystoke is an interesting take on Tarzan. what not to like when you have the actor who later played an immortal as Tarzan?
Teachers is a very underrated movie
Ice Pirates, Cloak and Dagger, Trancers, Missing In Action, Ninja III, Tank, The Wild Life, and so on. 1984 was a crazy year for movies.
Such a great year!!! And yes! For once, I lucked up on an incredible deal for a limited edition box release that I had missed!
