Where's the poll and/or choices?

Although I've never considered it one of my favorites of all-time (and I'm not entirely sure what even came out that year besides it), I'll have to go with the obvious: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.

From the US? The Thing. Overall, Fanny & Alexander.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial back then, now between Blade Runner and First Blood

Solid Snake

Hahahaha....just what type of person are you to want to bring that up? It's a fun choice for sure, but...just saying that is like making a fucking statement. I don't know why but I found just reading that title to be fucking hilarious, good film and all though..

NoirFan

Well, it's certainly the best Star Trek film.

E.T. but damn this was a good year...Blade Runner, The Thing, Tootsie, Das Boot and First Blood easily could have been my pick...

The Thing > all.

Just what type of person are you to ask a stupid question like that?

It's a nearly flawless movie. It covers a lot of bases that you probably don't even understand (aging, consequences for actions in our past, loss, etc), and it does so in a tautly scripted and directed film that is entertaining as hell.

There were a lot of great movies in 1982, but this one was a massive success on all levels and still resonates with me in a way that the other movies from that year don't. I can personally understand and relate to some of what the characters are going through in a way that I couldn't when I was 14 (when the movie came out), or 24, or even 34. Back when it came out it was great entertainment for me. As I've gotten older it's come to mean more to me and I understand the depth of the story and characters better now than I did back then.

Best....movie....of 1982.

I voted for E.T.. Second choice wold be Poltergeist. Third Star Trek.

Suprised no one said Rock III yet.

Werner Herzog is one of my all-time favorite filmmakers. In Fitzcarraldo, he manages to bring an opera house into a Peruvian jungle. What an amazing concept!

Will you have a topless scene in the upcoming Bad Lieutenant remake?
