Films of 1986
1986 was the least spiritual year of its era.
Across 116 well-known films, 1986 reads lower on spirituality than the decade around it — 22.3 against 24.5, a gap of 2.2. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
