We've teamed up with the Oriental Theatre and Milwaukee Film to bring you the best of 1985!
Four decades later, the spirit of 1985 still hits like a pack of Big League Chew. Celebrate the 40th anniversary of a landmark movie year—where coming-of-age clashes, madcap adventures, and wild imagination ruled the box office.
Retro Reels: 1985 brings back the films that defined a generation, packed with heart, humor, and high-stakes hijinks. Relive the magic, exactly how it was meant to be seen - on the big screen!
