T-Meter	Title \| Year	Review
46%	Red Dawn (1984)	It packs plenty of rabble-rousing ammunition, but its sloppy execution is unlikely to win any merit badges for marksmanship. - Hollywood Reporter EDIT Read More \| Posted Aug 14, 2018
97%	Lost in America (1985)	Too often, things are simply too painfully accurate to be particularly funny. Still, it's hard to fault Brooks' resolutely adult intelligence, and Lost in America - almost in spite of itself, really - is easily his most consistently amusing work to date. - Hollywood Reporter EDIT Read More \| Posted Mar 19, 2018
82%	Beverly Hills Cop (1984)	This lickety-split action comedy is distinguished by the wry, character-conscious direction of Martin Brest, who coaxes a silver-bullet performance from star Eddie Murphy that's practically criminal in its accuracy. - Hollywood Reporter EDIT Read More \| Posted Dec 5, 2016
100%	The Terminator (1984)	The havoc makes for a genuine steel metal trap of a movie that may very well be the best picture of its kind since The Road Warrior. - Hollywood Reporter EDIT Read More \| Posted Oct 3, 2015
54%	Dune (1984)	Dune is not the masterpiece its adherents have hoped for - but neither is it the disaster its detractors have claimed. - Hollywood Reporter EDIT Read More \| Posted Jun 6, 2008
