The Movies of 1985
In season 1 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the movies of 1999, reckoned by many to be the greatest year of movies of all time. This season we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movies of 1985, taking the opportunity to watch moves that we missed in our youth because they were something for the oldies. Now WE’RE the old ones!
