My sixth grade class went to downtown Seattle to watch Ghandi. Was good at first but then got boring to my sixth grade brainchuck said:
Couldn't agree more. This was my favorite year so far. They're all worthy.Gladstone said: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.
I think Ghandi had a bigger impact on your sixth grade than you're giving it credit....

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
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."PurpleThrobber said:DerekJohnson said:
