I haven't seen Amadeus, but I plan to see the DC in the next 2 weeks.

I'll be the only one to vote that The Residents' Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?, the half-hour edit of the original 14-hour Vileness Fats (which Ralph America is currently attempting to release on DVD) is the best movie of 1984. No, it's not as good of a movie as Amadeus, but it's The Residents. I have to give them my vote.

Man, pretty sad year....Luckily for us, Spinal Tap goes to 11!
after that...
Amadeus
Terminator
Killing Fields
and the quintessential Hughes flick: Sixteen candles.

Wow. This is difficult.
I'm going to have to say Ghostbusters. This is for many reasons, but particularly for some of the following. I loved the apocalyptic element of the film. I find Bill Murray to be one of the greatest comedic actors on the face of the earth and for sentimental reasons, it takes place in NYC and was the first film I can remember which had numerous expletives and thus birthed my potty mouth.
However, Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom and Sixteen Candles are close seconds.
