I also notice, Bogie, that we only have 4 titles in common...I told ya things would diverge more as we moved into the 80's.

film lover, I've seen all of your choices this time! Bogie, I haven't seen Tex, Interrogation, Fitzcarraldo, Burden of Dreams or Moonlighting. You both have Koyaanisqatsi, but I have it listed with 1983, since it only played 2 film festivals in '82.

I liked it enough to be in my top ten. But what do I know? I'm just an ugly American.

1982 - 152 films seen 1. The Thing 2. Blade Runner 3. Conan the Barbarian 4. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 5. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial 6. Poltergeist 7. The King of Comedy 8. Gandhi 9. The Verdict 10. Creepshow Runner-ups: 48 Hrs, Tootsie, Cat People, First Blood, and Fanny & Alexander. Larry's Choices: Mazes & Monsters & Oasis of the Zombies

THREE KINGS Next: a bad concert performance

Just to clarify, I actually do like these movies. I wasn't being dismissive. In fact, I recently bought the blu ray of SWAMP THING, and will be watching it soon.

THE ROLLING STONES: LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER - (7/10) - Concert film of the rock stars performing 25 songs, recorded primarily at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona in December of 1981. The giant open-air venue threatens to overwhelm the band, even on film, and the grandiose stage design doesn't help. But the band sounds good, and Mick Jagger is in top strutting form. Directed by Hal Ashby, who was suffering from serious medical issues at the time. He occasionally throws in some backstage footage, or scenes of stage construction, but never for very long, keeping the action mainly on the band.

SansFin, that 1982 list may be the most amazing thing I've seen all day. SWAMP THING! JEKYLL AND HYDE...TOGETHER AGAIN!! FEROCIOUS FEMALE FREDDOM FIGHTERS!!! I love it!

Exactly, but not as good as either of those. Better than nothing, though.

Yes, I remember a big resurgence in the Red Menace type of hysteria after Reagan was in office. REDS came out when that was really ramping up again. I still have a hard time with BROKEBACK losing to CRASH. I'm not one of the CRASH haters that have declared it the worst best picture winner ever, but BROKEBACK really should have won. That being said, neither of those films top my 2005 list. But that's a discussion for later.

I agree on RAIDERS. It was my #1 pick, after all. I believe the sequence with Indy hanging off the hood of the speeding truck followed by the fight around the fueling airplane is the greatest action sequence in film history. Expertly directed and edited.

I haven't watched it yet, but I recorded A LITTLE CHAOS a couple of days before his death.

Svengoolie is a throwback to the old local creature feature tv hosts. He introduces old horror and sci-fi films with bad jokes and comedy bits. His show is carried nationally at 10:00 P.M. EST on the METV network, which is a syndicated cable channel. Check your local listings!

I concur. Pop some corn and enjoy the show. But not for the lactose intolerant, as this contains more than the recommended daily allowance of cheese.
