    Das Boot

    The Man from Snowy River

    Really it's a vote for one of my dads, as he watches it constantly.




    Kirk Douglas played two roles and nailed them both.



    Decent soundtrack as well.

    Other faves were

    Annie
    Carrol Burnett steals the show, and her lines were commonly used around the house.






    Conan

    Some nice tits throughout the movie. Exceptional violence as well.

    Words to live by @UWFootball



    Rambo



    Fast times

    Fast Times at Ridgemont High
    Now that's a serious list and impossible to choose from for me. I'll go with funny and light though. I think this is the best teen/high school comedy ever.

    Das Boot
    I went with Das Boot even though I'm more likely to watch Rambo or Fast Times.

    Stallone as Rambo was great. When he had Dennehy up against the tree after he ravages his whole crew of deputies and says "I could have killed ’em all, I could kill you. In town you’re the law, out here it’s me. Don’t push it. Don’t push it or I’ll give you a war you won’t believe." I sprung a boner.

    Das Boot was a great movie, so I'm ok with my vote.

    First Blood is incredible. I watch it about once a year. It definitely belongs in the pole. That scene you quoted might be the best one in the whole movie.

    It's amazing how many lines R Lee Ermey borrowed from Lou Gossett. Only steers and queers come from Texas Oklahoma.

    Somehow I feel like a lot of vintage porn really isn't getting its full due in these poles.

    Blade Runner
    The Final Cut of Blade Runner is in my top 10, and is probably my favorite sci-fi film ever (also arguably the best film noir too, which is what this movie really is). Goddamn though, this 1982 list has some beasts.

    Fast Times - one of the best and iconic teen sex comedies.

    Ghandi - a worthy best picture winner, thanks largely to Ben Kingsley's performance

    Wrath of Khan - the best Trek film ever released, and it has probably the best individual scene from any of these movies (watch even if you're not a Trek fan, it's more submarine pew pew thriller than highbrow nerd):

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCpYqWAIwFA

    ET - an all time great for sure, and John Williams at his best

    The Thing - can't praise this enough, probably only behind Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) for sci-fi horror

    What a kingly list. I'm happy with whatever winning this one.

    Couldn't agree more. This was my favorite year so far. They're all worthy.

    My sixth grade class went to downtown Seattle to watch Ghandi. Was good at first but then got boring to my sixth grade brain
    I watched the thing in the wee hours of the morning, at my friend's house, right next to his parents' bedroom. I was right around that 6th grade zone too. We weren't supposed to be up so we were being very quiet...until they put the defibrillator on a guy, it went right through his chest, and giant teeth in there closed on the dude's wrists. My friend squealed out loud and I shouted something along the lines of "fuck! It bit off his hands!"

    Naturally his mom got up and ripped us a new one, unplugged the cable from the TV, and assured us we wouldn't be reconnecting it for at least a month. I didn't see the final 2 hours of the movie, or whatever it was, for several years.

    My old childhood buddy Ross and I had a similar experience with his parents when we were watching Eddie Murphy's "Delirious" late at night at his house

    I think Ghandi had a bigger impact on your sixth grade than you're giving it credit....

    LOL well maybe. But in middle school there was one Indian in all of Tillicum Junior High -- Usha J. I was gobsmacked in her presence, she was so beautiful. So I think that might have gotten the desi ball rolling. For Halloween she dressed up as Boy George. I dressed up as a pirate/priest. I was blessing her during art class, and Mr. Kentella said in front of the class, "Mr. Johnson, if you don't stop blessing people I'm going to bless you with a 2x4."
