| T-Meter | Title | Year | Review | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 83% | Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) |
An attractive, energetic young cast and some witty, off-center visual humor make the resultant laughs more than worth the wait. - Hollywood Reporter

| 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

| 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

| 83% | 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

| 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

| 51% | Dune (1984) |
Dune is not the masterpiece its adherents have hoped for - but neither is it the disaster its detractors have claimed. - Hollywood Reporter
