The Best Films of 1982

	kenstachnik's Rating	My Rating
1	The Thing (1982, R) The best horror remake of all time...one of the best horror movies of all time...Love me some MacReady
2	Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982, R)
3	Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan (1982, PG) KHANNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
4	My Favorite Year (1982, PG) Absolutely charming. Peter O'Toole gives a fantastic performance as an Errol Flynn facsimile named Alan Swan.
5	Poltergeist (1982, PG)
6	Blade Runner (1982, R) A special effects milestone. A film so influential that it's hard to judge it on it's own merits. Beautifully realized, but still flawed, Blade Runner is a monumental film in the sci-fi and noir genres.
7	Tootsie (1982, PG)
8	An Officer and a Gentleman (1982, R)
9	The Secret of NIMH (1982, G) Awesome Don Bluth animation
10	E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (1982, PG)
11	The Long Good Friday (1982, R) British Godfather and Michael Mann's playbook
12	Next of Kin, (Hell House) (1982, PG) Imagine The Shinning and Suspiria had an Australia film baby and you'll start to get an idea of what Next of Kin is like. While the film has it's flaws, it's use of atmosphere is unbelievable. Great elegant cinematography and really amazing slo-mo. A true undiscovered gem. I'm not going to lie, it's a little hard to find. I had to buy a used, out-of-print, German, region 4 bootleg off ebay.
