12 Reasons 1985 Was The Most Important Movie Year Ever
5. Cult Cinema
As already hinted in the horror section - and indeed in every reference to terrible but entirely lovable movies here - 1985 was when cult went mainstream. And forget your hipster ideas of cult (The Room is sh*t, its not cult), this was the year that everyone who misrepresents cult should be directed towards. Even the biggest films of 1985 legitimately inspired cult fandom - Back To The Future, The Goonies, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome there was no separation between blockbuster and cult. And then there was the likes of Clue, Perfect, Legend, Fright Night, The Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire, Silverado Seriously, its a joke how many there are.
