What happened in 1984? Reagan vs. Mondale, Evert vs. Navratilova, Bird vs. Magic, and Dallas vs. Dynasty. But on the big screen, Amadeus, Axel Foley, Freddy Krueger and Lynch’s Dune told the story of the year.
This spring at the Paris, we’ll chart the story of 1984 through the movies that set box office records, launched careers of superstars and firmly established the blockbuster era in Hollywood, with the year’s top ten grossing films inspiring dozens of sequels in the years to come.
Beyond the blockbusters, we’ll look at the indies, the auteurs and the epics that thrilled audiences and critics forty years ago. Check back for updates as we add special guests to introduce select shows.
