‘Forgotten Films will be hosting The 1984-a-Thon celebrating the films of that incredible year’

June 6, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

This year is the 30th anniversary of what, in my opinion, is the greatest year in the history of film…1984. I know, I know…the snooty types usually say 1939. But I was a teenager in the 80’s and 84 was a phenomenal year. That year, more than any other, made me the film fan I am today. So many iconic 80’s movies were released that year: Ghostbusters, The Karate Kid, The Terminator, Beverly Hills Cop, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Footloose, Amadeus, This is Spinal Tap, Sixteen Candles, Romancing the Stone…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! (…)

The event will take place August 25-31.

If you are a movie or pop culture blogger I’d love to have you participate!

Don’t laugh:

This guy might be onto something…
