Best Fantastic Movie of 1982?

[CountDeMoney]

Especially not in the year both ET and Poltergeist came out in the same fucking summer.  Nigga, please.

Oh, wow.  Really?  ET?  Poltergeist?  For serious?

That's what I don't get.  Only the nosebreathers would mention those two and leave the Thing out of the picture.

Loved The Thing, too.  Wilford Brimley.  "You gotta be fucking kidding."  Murdered dogs. Scared the piss out of me.
It's just not as big as ET.

And if I were in true nosebreather form, I'd have voted for Cat People.

I liked ET, but I don't think it's aged as well as some of the others.

It's just not as big bad as ET.

Though I wasn't a little kid when E.T. came out, so I may have missed the "specialness." 

I thought it was a predictable snooze, though well-acted.

And if I were in true nosebreather form, I'd have voted for Cat People. 

Cat People is a fun flick.  Absurdly pretentious, but it created a genre.  Great music, too.

While I agree that ET was something special and that Poltergeist was, well, for people that are special, there's something to be said for lasting appeal. Both ET and Poltergeist look dated and not in the how Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif kinda look Arab in 1080p in "Lawrence of Arabia" dated. Blade Runner was a decent movie and is a decent movie still, despite being an adaption of a book that has absolutely no internal consistency and most likely was written on acid or during heavy withdrawal.

The rest? Don't care.

Created genre? help me out senor blue.

You're the same kind of punk that thinks Casablanca is full of cliches.  YOU WERENT THERE BOY.

[CountDeMoney]

Fuck it, I'm changing my vote. Danton.  Fuck y'all.

[grumbler]

Created genre? help me out senor blue.

The movie created the genre where the director gives the audience sex when they expect horror and horror when they expect sex. 

Though Liquid Sky kinda did that (plus humor) that same year, didn't it?  Maybe CP wasn't as visionary as I thought.  Still a fun movie, though.

Fantastic?

I thought that Norg and you were of an age.

Damn, I'm going to have to watch 'The Thing' now, and it's one of those films thats sufficiently good that one wants to ration how many times one watches it, lest it loose it's lustre.

Not unlike Slargos' dating life. [diceman]Oooooh![/diceman]
