The year I was born, turned out to be a pretty "decent" year for some absolute classic popcorn Hollywood releases, and where it must have been quite an interesting time to be alive and getting to see so many impressive and huge blockbusters coming out all together:
Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Gremlins, Indiana Jones, Police Academy, The Karate Kid and Romancing the Stone, just being a few of the many famous titles, that either already were part or would soon get their very own successful franchises, and where some even today, seems to be still alive and kicking.
Then you had a few of the ones, that maybe were more of a surprising hits, but who would soon grow into becoming legendary, through video rental services, night cable re-watches and where titles such as The Terminator, Nightmare On Elm Street, This Is Spinal Tap and Revenge of the Nerds surely did more than well, even if a few also hit off big with at the cinemas.
For some others, this year would be a make it or break it kind of deal, as where the sleazy and cheesy independent film company Troma Entertainment, went on from trying to capitalize on the already pretty darn watered out, teen-sex craze, to find new life with their own parody of the slasher and super-hero genre, with The Toxic Avenger, that soon became a cult-classic and have itself gotten lots of sequels, a tv-show, in fact a cartoon for kids, and will forever be, what I guess most people might think of when Troma is being brought up.
All in all, another great year for movies.
