What were the highest grossing movies of 1986?

Gil’s Auto Sales has been in business since 1986. That was thirty years ago already! How does time fly so quickly? We have been proud to serve the communities of Phenix City, Columbus, Opelika, and the surrounding areas over the past three decades. Since we are celebrating this exciting milestone, we figured it would be fun to look back at what was happening in 1986. Today we want to ask, What were the highest grossing movies of 1986?

Top 10 films of 1986

Many of the highest grossing movies from 1986 have become modern classics, endlessly quoted and referenced by your friends to this day. High-flying adventure “Top Gun” topped the year-end chart, squeaking past fish-out-of-water tale (or would it be kangaroo-out-of-the-outback tale?) “Crocodile Dundee.” The latest (at the time) adventure of the Enterprise crew was also a popular choice with “Star Trek IV,” as was the story of a much more dangerous journey in space, “Aliens.” Here are the top 10 films of 1986 and their total grosses.

Gil’s Auto Sales 30 Year Anniversary

We first saw these blockbuster movies thirty years ago, and we’ve seen blockbuster deals from Gil’s Auto Sales since then. We’ve been able to stay in business for so long because we take care to inspect vehicles before they go on sale, plus we do all of our own financing on site without relying on banks. You deal directly with us for all aspects of buying a car when you buy from us. If you are in the market for a pre-owned automobile, check out our inventory.
