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.)
