With the summer blockbuster season upon us, lets look back 30 years ago with all the releases which came out between May 1 and the end of August 1982, in order:
Conan the Barbarian Annie Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid The Road Warrior Rocky III Visiting Hours Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Poltergeist Hanky Panky E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial Grease 2 Firefox Author! Author! The Thing Megaforce Blade Runner Forced Vengeance The Secret of NIMH Tron A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy Summer Lovers The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas The World According to Garp An Officer & A Gentleman Night Shift Things Are Tough All Over Fast Times at Ridgemont High Pink Floyd The Wall Friday the 13th Part III-D Beastmaster Class of 1984
Well mixed in there we have alot of classics, some good movies, and lots of shit.
Out of that list, what was your favorite from that summer?
I think THE THING and BLADE RUNNER are the better movies, and CONAN is just as good, but my ballot is cast for STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN.
Just think: BLADE RUNNER and THE THING opened on the same weekend. (Neither was #1 that weekend, E.T. was #1.)
