Netflix’s large cinematic gimmick for 2024 is what are calling “Milestone Motion pictures” — movies that had been launched in years which have large anniversaries. They already did a complete assortment of 50-year-old titles from 1974; this month they’re importing a bunch of greater than 20 titles that had been initially launched to theaters in 1984.
1984 being 40 years in the past … that’s going to take a number of weeks to recover from.
The movies Netflix is providing is … an eclectic bunch. Of the highest-grossing movies of 1984, they’re solely providing two: Beverly Hills Cop (which, coincidentally, Netflix has made a brand new sequel to, coming later this summer season) and Footloose. You’ll must stream the opposite prime hits of the yr — together with Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins, The Karate Child — elsewhere.
Netflix does at the least have the yr’s Finest Image winner — Amadeus — and one other one of many Finest Image nominees (A Passage to India.)
