5 Off My Head: Siri Says 1984

Welcome back, tis the time to talk to the little lady housed inside my phone and ask her to tell me a number between one and one hundred - Hark, today it is 84! So The Movies of 1984 it is. (Coincidentally 1984 is also the "Year of the Month" over at The Film Experience - you should go see an ode to Jeff Bridges' gorgeousness that literally just got posted a minute ago.)

(Oh and you can see more of that in an old post of ours here, by the way.) Anyway I usually have had a tough time narrowing down my list to just five when it's been a year I look back upon nostalgically - two of my toughest bouts were 1988 and 1996. But 1984 turned out to be kind of easy! I have a lot of runners-up, but the five top titles were all like, "Duh." So now that I've thrilled you with high expectations of shock and awe, let's do it!
