Find Out The Biggest Movie Of The Year When You Were Born (3 of 10)

1981. Raiders of the Lost Ark

The first movie in the Indiana Jones franchise, Raiders of the Lost Ark starred Harrison Ford in the leading role. And who knew that he would be leading not one, but two of the most popular movie franchises in the world!

1982. E.T. the Extra Terrestrial

Steven Spielberg has also been known for his big-budget movies, and E.T. The Extra Terrestrial was clearly the winner in 1982. The movie was also Drew Barrymore’s debut as a seven-year-old, but it was the friendship between E.T. and Elliot that remains popular even now.

1983. Scarface

Al Pacino had already cemented his place as one of the most versatile actors of his generation, and Scarface gave him a chance to deliver another top performance. Even though the movie was surrounded by controversies and had to wiggle its way through to the theatres, the flick ultimately ended up earning over 66 million USD at the worldwide box office and became one of the iconic movies of the decade.

1984. Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters is a movie about a bunch of paranormal scientists and it was a huge success in the summer of 1984. The movie is still popular and was even remade back in 2016.

1985. Back to the Future

There were plenty of teen-centered movies in the 1980s too, but Doc Brown, his friend Marty McFly, and DeLorean are still considered the gold standard. The movie became immensely popular upon its release and led to two more sequels.
