Ghostbusters (1984)
The most obvious link is their costumes for trick or treating, the reference shows the boys in their proton packs biking and singing to the movies theme. "If there's something strange, in the neighbourhood" is the tag line of Ghostbusters which represents the story of Stranger Things perfectly as a strange creature terrifies the neighbourhood. Also, in Dustin's bedroom he has a ' 'Ghostbusters Certificate of Anti-Paranormal Proficiency' hanging on his bedroom wall.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Hopper's outfit clearly portrays Jones especially focusing on his iconic hat in which he actually goes back to retreat which Jones would always do as well as shots that match directly to the movie including the one above and the image of Hopper's silhouette in the underground tunnel. The Duffers also stated the scene where Max drives to the pumpkin patch is a shot for shot remake of Short Round in Temple of Doom.
Firestarter (1984)
Stranger Things focuses on a young girl 'Eleven' who has superpowers which resembles Charlie in Firestarter who has pyro-kinesis powers that is hunted by a secret government agency. The scene is Eleven crushing the can with her mind is a shot for shot remake of a moment in Firestarter- both monitored by a science lab. In addition, one of the movie posters directly copies the Firestarter one with Elevan being the key focus like Charlie both with their hair appearing to float up.
