It was a simpler time. The average cost of a home was only $82,500. Gasoline was $1.12 per gallon and you actually had to memorize your friends' phone number, pick up a landline and speak to them. Crazy!

In the world of entertainment, Michael Jackson was king, literally. The King of Pop dominated the charts with hits off his Thriller album. Madonna's provocative image and catchy tunes had everyone wanting to be a Material Girl.

In 1985, the Brat Pack were all over the big screen. Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and more captivated audiences with their films like St. Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, The Outsiders and Sixteen Candles.

Still considered by many to be their favorite movie, 1985 introduced us to the great Marty McFly, a young teen whose trip back in time in a DeLorean raked in over $210,000,000. Hard to believe that was 40 years ago.
