Best Fantastic Movie of 1982?

[Ideologue]

The best film from that list is Blade Runner, despite its glaring flaws.

The Thing and Trek II are favorites, as well (although Khan is emphatically not the best of the six).

[Neil]

This poll is bullshit.  How can you choose between Wrath of Khan, Conan and Blade Runner?  Tron, Last Unicorn and ET are also strong.

[LaCroix]

as yi touched on, which sucks today when viewed through non-nostalgic glasses and which stood the test of time?

[The Brain]

Is it the 1982 theatrical Blade Runner we're talking about?

[CountDeMoney]

Christ, saw most of those in the theater.  I'm old.


But E.T. takes it.

[CountDeMoney]

Of course; only this collection of social misfit alt-hist computards and Assburger's Syndrome videogamers would have Blade Runner in the lead.

[Eddie Teach]

IMDB voters also have Blade Runner ahead of ET, Khan and The Thing(didn't bother checking the others).

[CountDeMoney]

IMDB voters also have Blade Runner ahead

I rest my case.  This generation is broken.

Let's see, 1982 was a long time ago but to the best of my recollection I have NOT seen:

Blade Runner
Cat People
Last Unicorn
Quest for Fire
Swamp Thing
Sword and the Sorcerer
The Thing
Timerider


I voted Dark Crystal 

[Norgy]

Blade Runner.

Although, only the Director's Cut really does, erm, cut it.

See, this is why we don't take your opinions seriously around here.  You're culturally illiterate.  You're a waliking pop-culture lobotomy.  You and Timmay should have a pooh-fling contest.

[Ed Anger]

Now, would I take 1982 Sean Young tied up in my basement? maybe. maybe.

If people are choosing the 'Dark Crystal', why isn't 'Krull' an option ?

Maybe? The fuck you wouldn't.

[grumbler]

Bladerunner is the best by a bunch.  Every viewing of it shows you something you missed on a previous viewing. 

The Thing is better if we were just viewing this as traditional SF.  I don't ever feel the need to see it again, though.

Maybe one could argue that The Thing is the better "movie" and Bladerunner the better "film."  But for this poll, Bladerunner wins for me.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've seen c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in the rain. Time to die."
