GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 1984

Once Upon A Time in America
The Terminator
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Nausicaa Valley of the Wind
Blood Simple
Ghostbusters
Beverly Hills Cop
C.H.U.D.

Huge separation between top3 and the rest. Surprised Once Upon A Time is so low
 
Here's my list:

1. The Last Starfighter
2. Red Dawn
3. The Karate Kid
4. Star Trek III: The Search For Spock
5. The Terminator
6. Sixteen Candles
7. Revenge of the Nerds
8. A Christmas Carol
9. The Natural
10. The Neverending Story
 
I'm very sorry you think Red Dawn is considerably better than Once Upon A Time in America. But you got Paris Texas up there so you retained some street cred
