Back To The Future, The Goonies and The Breakfast Club were all released in the same year. 1985 wins.

None of those are classics in my opinion. More sort of enjoyable cult films, apart from The Color Purple.

1999 has at least 5 classics.

1998

Saving Private Ryan
Bugs Life (first movie by Pixar)
Blade
Truman Show
Armageddon

And the best of them all.. Small Soldiers

MMBT is the weakest in the franchise and spoilt by kids.

Commando and Rambo 2 are dumb action movies.

Teen Wolf and Weird Science are cult 80's movies. Entertaining but not brilliant.

The Color Purple is well made but far down on Spielberg's best.

Rocky 4 is silly.

Cocoon is nothing more than ok.

Back to the Future is the only real classic from 85.

I don't really remember the years just the movies but 1999 does seem like a good year.

1978. Same year as Halloween and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Not a bad year.

It was so low budget that the used Milton Keynes as a stand in for NY. When Superman goes to the UN they make it look like NY by having someone wearing an “I Heart NY” T-shirt buy s hot dog from a street vendor.
