1989 is pretty solid too

Batman (Michael Keaton version)
Dead Poets Society
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Back to the Future II
Christmas Vacation
When Harry Met Sally
Glory
Uncle Buck
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Weekend at Bernies
Field of Dreams
Major League

But I'd say 1984 and 1994 are better. I definitely love 94's movies the most.

I submit 1993:

Jurassic Park
Last Action Hero
Cliffhanger
Super Mario Bros
SANDLOT
Free Willy
Dazed and Confused
TOMBSTONE
Army of Darkness
COOL rough ridin' RUNNINGS
DEMOLITION MAN
The Fugitive
The Good Son
Mrs Doubtfire
True Romance

GOOD GOD IT GOES ON AND ON 1993 IS THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION

Groundhog day and Nightmare before Christmas can be added as well.

1984's Star Trek 3 may have had Christopher Lloyd as a Klingon, but 1989's Star Trek 5 had a guy from Salina as God!

The Little Rascals
The Flintstones
Richie Rich
Angels in the Outfield
Little Giants
The Santa Clause
