The Movie Music of 1986
by Erika Bromley
When Patrick first told me that 1986 was likely the year for 2019’s F This Movie Fest, 1985 popped in my head. Years ago, I put together a list of favorite songs from 1985 movies as we were celebrating ‘85 for the 2014 F This Movie Fest, and I had the most fun writing it (of course as soon as a submitted it to my beardy editor/boss, I realized I had forgotten some favorites, as I am SURE I will do right now).
Glutton for Punishment: WILLY/MILLY (aka SOMETHING SPECIAL)
by JB
No look at the movies of 1986 would be complete without a shout out to this… curiosity…which exists to show that ANY movie made in 1986 could actually rate a FULL THEATRICAL RELEASE!

JUMPIN' JACK FLASH is a Gas, Gas, Gas
by Michele Eggen
Our family movie collection when I was a kid was nothing like what I have now. We had a few of the Disney VHS clamshells and then mostly a random assortment of movies we had taped off of TV onto VHS. While we did have some really good stuff among the mix, like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Batman, for some reason we also had 1986’s Jumpin' Jack Flash, a comedy spy action movie that was probably not that appropriate for children. Still, it was a family favorite and in constant rotation as I was growing up and falling in love with movies. Over thirty years later, it hasn’t lost any of the charm that made it a classic in my eyes.

The Perfect 1986 Double Feature
by Alejandra Gonzalez
The year is 1986. People everywhere browse their favorite video stores to determine which movies will have the select honor of being rented for that Friday night’s perfect double feature. Most of them understand they need not look any further than the same shelf to find movies that are utterly compatible, but the secret has always been that the best movie matches are usually found across the store from each other.
Celluloid Ramblings: SOMETHING WILD
by JB
Is Something Wild a deep dive into the heart of the American dream, an examination of the shallowness of the yuppie lifestyle, or a cautionary tale about the lure of irresponsibility? Is it all three? Is it “none of the above?” You be the judge and jury.
