Netflix Adds Collection of 40 Year Old ’80s Classics
Netflix’s big cinematic gimmick for 2024 is what are calling “Milestone Movies” — films that were released in years that have big anniversaries. They already did a whole collection of 50-year-old titles from 1974; this month they are uploading a group of more than 20 titles that were originally released to theaters in 1984.
1984 being 40 years ago ... that’s going to take a few weeks to get over.
The films Netflix is offering is ... an eclectic bunch. Of the highest-grossing films of 1984, they’re only offering two: Beverly Hills Cop (which, coincidentally, Netflix has made a new sequel to, coming later this summer) and Footloose. You’ll have to stream the other top hits of the year — including Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, The Karate Kid — elsewhere.
Netflix does at least have the year’s Best Picture winner — Amadeus — and another one of the Best Picture nominees (A Passage to India.)
