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

    These have been fun yellow, thanks

    Don't cancel me, yet. We still got some meaty years to cover.

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

    We're gonna keep you plenty busy on this in the near future.

    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):

    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
