Back to 1985 Blogathon is Here

 

There is something about 1985 (at least for those of us who were alive then) that resonates. And not just in movies. It was the year of the first Live Aid events (remember those?). We also got We Are the World, a phenomenon in itself. Both Playboy and  Penthouse published naked pictures of Madonna. Coca-Cola introduced "New Coke" in April. And due to the backlash from that fiasco, they announced the return of the classic Coke later that year. 

But also some of the most iconic movies of the 80's (or even all time) were released in 1985, like Back to the Future, The Breakfast Club and The Color Purple. Even movies that may or may not be as memorable came out that year. As I said on the announcement page for this blogathon, I think I saw more movies in the theater in 1985 than I saw any other year of my life.

So Rachel @ Hamlette's Soliloquy and I now present you with some of the more memorable of those movies, as presented by fellow bloggers who joined us in this celebration.  This list will be updated as more entries come in. Read about....
