Here is an interesting article about movies released in 1984 specifically:

Let's talk about this decade (my personal favorite decade in film) and the movies that helped shape and define the industry.
These are my favorite films of the 1980s:
Aliens, Batman, Back to the Future, Beverly Hills Cop, Batteries Not Included, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bloodsport, Big Trouble in Little China, Conan the Barbarian, Christine, Commando, Die Hard, E.T, First Blood, Full Metal Jacket, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, The Goonies, Highlander, Indiana Jones Trilogy, The Lost Boys, Last Starfighter, Near Dark, Nightmare on Elm St, Predator, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rocky III, Rocky IV, Robocop, The Shining, Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, The Terminator, Twins, Tron...
There's probably more I've forgotten but these are what came out from the top of my head.
Why do I like this decade so much? I guess because I feel more of a connection to these films than I do of ones out today. I do enjoy a lot of movies from various decades but being born early in the 80s I feel that these films form part of my film DNA from watching them growing up. They have had such an impact on me. Even though I would be classified technically as a child of the 90s because you could consider my awareness of movies to be fully formed by the time I was a bit older. However, these films were part of my viewing, the main part actually, even during the early to late 90s.
