Yo, Slackers! 1986 is a fun year for movies and music. The Billboard top 100 features such a mix of icons of pop like Prince, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Janet Jackson & Lionel Richie, along with a bunch of very 80’s centric groups hitting the charts. Mr. Mister, Glass Tiger, Pet Shop Boys, & Bananarama. There is also a return to the charts for legends like Steve Winwood and Boston. It’s a real eclectic list that just screams “Gen X”!
The box office for 1986 is also a weird mix of horror, kids movies, science fiction, and fantasy. Sylvester Stallone is the action hero, and Ralph Macchio continues to be a box office draw. David Bowie takes a fantastical turn, while a John Hughes classic makes Molly Ringwald a household name. And talk about a different time, there is a C. Thomas Howell movie that would not be made in 2022! There are big time war movies, Charlie Sheen, immortal Sean Connery, and hauntings galore. It’s 1986 and totally Rad!
