BigDaddy's reply below reminded me of a thing I saw this

morning. Best year for movies in the '80s.



I think I gotta go 1987, because all 5 of them are bangers. There are a handful of better singular movies across the other years (Empire, Raiders, Vacation, Scarface, Ferris, Top Gun, Major League), but 87 is the only year where I'd sit down and watch ANY of those 5 right meow. And I've seen all 5 of them at least 10 times.
