I came across this list of the top movies in September 1988. No Superhero movies, no sequels (with the exception of Elm Street). The rest are all originals and some outstanding movies. We saw six of them in the theater.
Moon Over Parador about a failed actor (Richard Dreyfuss) in an unnamed South American country replacing a dictator (the late, great Raul Julia).
A Fish Called Wanda with John Cleese and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Die Hard. 'Nuff said.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit with Bob Hoskins and the voice of Kathleen Turner in a wildly creative film.
Married To The Mob with Michelle Pfeiffer, Mathew Modine and Dean Stockwell.
Big. Tom Hanks. 'Nuff said.
How many would be made today?
