Focusing on the fantastical only - the full list of movies here:

1982 also had Rocky III, First Blood, Tootsie, Officer and Gentleman, Marathon Man, Gandhi,Firefox, Fitzcarraldo or 48 Hours.

There are so many movies I loved as kid on that list, but the one I voted for was The Last Unicorn. Something about it just struck a cord with me back then.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Toss up between 'Blade Runner', 'The Thing' and 'Conan' (great fun) , went for The Thing as it was the only one of those I saw in a cinema, great scary entertainment.  :)

No real stand out 'one of the best films ever!!!' there.
The Thing I guess.
I've never really liked Blade Runner. It deserves a lot of respect for the world it created and being pretty much the only western cyberpunk film worthy of the name but the film itself just doesn't do it for me. But then I tend not to like films with dark lighting.

Blade Runner, hands down. Conan at a far second.

Trying to decide on the best Trek film or the Thing (which I really liked).  Best part of the Thing:  When they shoot the Norwegians.  Actually the best part I thought was the somewhat creepy video of the Norwegian team finding the ship.  It felt realistic.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Incidentally The Thing is on Youtube.

Think how much better it would've been if they'd shot some Swedes.

hated, hated e.t. when i was younger. the alien unnerved me to no end, and all the daycares were obsessed with it

The Wrath of Khan and his Shiny Prosthetic Pectorals was awesome swashbuckling fun at the time but looks terribly dated now.  Bladerunner and The Thing do not.  Slight edge to to The Thing, as the Bladerunner has some slow moody parts that The Thing does not.
