J.L. Neyhart: 1983-1984 Movies

So I have a few things to talk about with this post. First of all, I've finally made it back to one of the original Star Wars movies: Return of the Jedi (1983). So clearly that has to be number 1 on this list. But I was obsessed with The NeverEnding Story as a kid (ask my brother, it drove him crazy, lol!), and it came out in 1984. So it would be #1 from 84, but it gets edged out by Star Wars with the years combined.

I was surprised at how low The Terminator was on the list of highest-grossing films from 1984. It was #21. The Tom Hanks mermaid movie (Splash) landed at #10! What?

And finally, who remembers The Charmkins? It was a television film based on a toyline by Hasbro, in the early 1980s, which was broadcast on October 25, 1983

"Brown-Eyed Susan and the other Charmkin children of Charmland go on a quest to rescue Lady Slipper after she is kidnapped by Evil Dragonweed and whisked off to Thistledown to dance for him and his goons."
