While 1994 is often considered one of the best-ever years for movies, 10 years earlier, 1984 gave it a run for its money. At roughly the halfway point of the 1980s, it saw the release of numerous classic films that have stood the test of time. Some were successful upon release, while others took a little while to find an audience and have seen their reputations grow considerably in the years (and decades) since first coming out.
