What was the no. 1 movie in February 1984?
The year once associated with a distant, dystopian future, is now 40 years behind us.
In 1984 you could get a gallon of gas for $1.13, a house for $80,000 — and a VCR for about $300. For a lot of families, it was still cheaper to head to the movie theaters instead of messing around with those newfangled Betamax tapes.
And if you were headed to the movies in February of 1984, there's a very good chance you were on your way to see this '80s classic. What movie topped the box office during that time?

Correct Answer: Footloose
The answer is: Footloose. The tale of a big city kid who moves to a small town and just wants to smoke, drink, and dance was a box office smash. But coming out in wide release on February 17, it just barely edged out Terms of Endearment to become the top movie of the month in 1984.Source
