The heroes were still there, but dramas emerged as the box office hits of this past year. Two plays, Amadeus and Agnes of God. were introduced on film. The former was a dramatic plot about Mozartg the latter con- cerned a nun who became pregnant. Other dramatic movies included Passage to India. which showcased the Indian countrysideg and The Killing Fields, which was about a re- porters experiences in a war-torn Southeast Asia. For college students one serious drama stood out, St. Elmo's Fire. It dramatized the rela- tionships among a group of recent college graduates and depicted their adjustments to survive in the real world. Of course, the heroes were still dominant in many of the summers fun movies. Back to the Future featured a somewhat reluctant teenage hero. Mel Gibson returned as Mad Max, a hero surviving in a world devastated by nuclear warg and Rocky returned in his fourth movie. The summer also saw the continuation of National Lampoon's Vacation in Europe- an Vacationf' Other summer flicks included Summer Rental and Volunteers This year the western was reborn in films with Silverado and Pale Rider. Silverado was a big box office success about the all- American cowboy. Clint Eastwood returned as the macho cowboy in Pale Rider. Disney studios released a new animated film this year, The Black Cauldron, in which a new animation technique was tried. lt was filmed entirely on 70mm. Santa Claus made it big in the movies with the Christmastime release of Disneys One Magic Christmas and another film entitled Santa Claus the Movie. With the help of modern special effects these movies brought back the magic ofthe Santa Claus legend. E -DeeAnn Peterson - 4
