1985 in Film

By the time I saw most of the movies that came out in 1985, I had been living overseas for more than a year. It’s funny to see how many of these stories deal with a “fish out of water” a person struggling to adapt to another culture. Come to think of it, a lot of the great stories ever told are about that. If not, they are mysteries.
