I don't know how many of you remember this, and I'm probably wrong about some of these titles, but in the summer of 1982, all of these amazing films came out during those warm summer months here in Los Angeles, where I haunted the UA and Americana theaters in North Hollywood and Panorama City, respectively, and sat mesmerized through all of these movies:
The Thing
Conan the barbarian
Tron
ET
Blade Runner
Star Trek 2: Wrath of Kahn
Poltergeist
Twilight Zone: the Movie
I know some of these are not classics for everyone, but I had an amazing summer watching these films, and in retrospect made me want to work in film myself. Did I miss any titles here? Just coming up with these off the top of my head.
