It was the year we lost the legendary John Lennon; the year two much-anticipated sequels hit the silver screen in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and SUPERMAN II; the year Jack Nicholson first said "Heeeeres Johnny;" the year the name Jason Voorhees became famous; the year that brought us the aforementioned "zaniness" in the form of classic comedies like AIRPLANE!, 9 TO 5, STIR CRAZY, THE BLUES BROTHERS, SMOKEY & THE BANDIT II, and PRIVATE BENJAMIN; the year when a legendary television series cliffhanger (thats still acclaimed to this day) caused mass hysteria and more "zaniness" around the world as people were obsessed with WHO SHOT J.R.on DALLAS, the year that DEF LEPPARD DIE HARDS like us are thankful for in that it saw the release of the bands first album ON THROUGH THE NIGHT, the year that saw the post-SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE comic-to-film trend continue with films like FLASH GORDON and POPEYE with ROBIN WILLIAMS, the year that WE will take YOU back to THIS SATURDAY AT 7PM EST!
