The Thing (1982)

reply

1982 was a decent year, First Blood, The Verdict, The Thing, The King of Comedy; all great films.

If I’m honest though my most watched film from 82 is The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. As a Dolly Parton diehard, I can’t pick anything else in the one year she starred in an actual musical. It’s trashy as all hell but the music is classic and it never fails to lift my mood.

Wrath of Khan

Oh yeah, that was such an improvement on the first Star Trek movie. Good choice.

1982 was also a great year in the slasher genre. Here’s a nice link:

I just made a list of my ten favorite films from 1982 (the year I moved from N.Y. to Miami) ...
48 Hours
Blade Runner
Cannery Row
Diner
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Night Shift
An Officer and a Gentleman
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The World According to Garp
The Year of Living Dangerously

Of those, I've got to go with ... Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Yeah, yeah, I know that the subject of the thread is Best movie, not favorite movie, so to answer the question,
Blade Runner, with The Year of Living Dangerously a close second.
