1984 Movies

To make this list a movie had to be made in 1984.  Obviously many movies made in 1983 earned box office dollars in 1984.  On the other side many movies made in 1984 made money in 1985 and later.   This page will looks at over 170 movies made in 1984.  The movies are listed in two massive tables that lets you rank the movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information.
