Netflix Adds Collection of 40 Year Old ’80s Classics

Netflix’s massive cinematic gimmick for 2024 is what are calling “Milestone Motion pictures” — movies that have been launched in years which have massive anniversaries. They already did an entire assortment of 50-year-old titles from 1974; this month they’re importing a gaggle of greater than 20 titles that have been initially launched to theaters in 1984.

1984 being 40 years in the past … that’s going to take just a few weeks to recover from.

The movies Netflix is providing is … an eclectic bunch. Of the highest-grossing movies of 1984, they’re solely providing two: Beverly Hills Cop (which, coincidentally, Netflix has made a brand new sequel to, coming later this summer season) and Footloose. You’ll must stream the opposite high hits of the yr — together with Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, The Karate Child — elsewhere.

Netflix does a minimum of have the yr’s Greatest Image winner — Amadeus — and one other one of many Greatest Image nominees (A Passage to India.)
