TPSG Top 10 Movies of 1984

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 1984:
  1. The Terminator - Arnold Schwarenegger, Linda Hamilton
  2. Beverly Hills Cop - Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold
  3. Ghostbusters - Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd
  4. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw
  5. The Killing Fields - Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor
  6. The Natural - Robert Redford, Robert Duvall
  7. Sixteen Candles - Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall
  8. The Karate Kid - Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita
  9. Purple Rain - Prince, Morris Day
  10. Red Dawn - Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen
The films in this list didn't win many awards but they were great fun to watch, well with the exception of "The Killing Fields" which was horrifying.  James Cameron's "The Terminator" is sci-fi at it's best.  "Beverly Hills Cop" is Eddie Murphy's best film, it's hilarious.  How can anyone forget Bill Murray getting slimed in "Ghostbusters"?  "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" was every bit as fun and entertaining as the original.  "The Natural" is one of the best baseball films ever.  When you think of quintessential 80's movies "Sixteen Candles" and "The Karate Kid" are probably two of the first movies you think of.   I loved everything about Prince and Morris Day in "Purple Rain", it's cool and funky, the story is great and music is outstanding.  The original "Red Dawn" was the perfect movie for it's time and the casting was outstanding.
