Summer of '86: The Underappreciated Movies Turning 40 This Year
Description
Episode 787: When people talk about the summer movies of 1986, the conversation usually starts with Top Gun and ends somewhere around Aliens, The Karate Kid Part II, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was one of the strongest movie summers of the decade, packed with blockbusters that still dominate pop-culture conversations 40 years later.
But every great movie season leaves a few worthy titles behind.
This week on Stuck in the '80s, we revisit four films from the summer of 1986 that may not get the attention they deserve today: SpaceCamp, Legal Eagles, Nothing in Common, and Ruthless People. Each offered something unique, even if they were overshadowed by bigger releases.Support Our Sponsors
