Why that particular year?Mine would have to be Tron-from your list

[DenOfEarth]

Well it was a good year and thinking of top movies from each year

[theprestige85]

The Thing for me.

[The Great Owl]

1982 was an awesome year, and there are several great films from which to choose.

Blade Runner is my clear favorite from that year, though.

[dallywhitty]

I'd be surprised if I've even seen twenty films released that year, although I'll try and compile a list. In the mean time, Blade Runner is, naturally, the greatest creation in the history of the known universe.

EDIT:

Okay, these are the ones I've seen and I've listed them in order of preference:

Blade Runner
Tenebrae
White Dog
Poltergeist
Forbidden Zone
The Thing
The Plague Dogs
First Blood
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Conan the Barbarian
Basket Case
The Last American Virgin
Tron
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Porky's
Creepshow (not a knock on the film my ranking it so low - I just haven't seen it in ages and can barely remember it)
The New York Ripper
Grease 2

Believe me, Creepshow was better than Porky's. If possible, Porkys should be last, and then drop it down a few notches from there.

Poltergeist
The Thing
Halloween 3
ET

[oildude]

Yes, 1982 was an incredible year, maybe one of the best ever, as your list shows. But you left off three of the very best releases from 1982:

Peter Weir's The Year of Living Dangerously (starring Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver)
Philip Borsos' The Grey Fox (a fantastic western set in British Columbia starring Richard Farnsworth)
Costa-Gavra's Missing (starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek)

Also left off:

Ron Howard's Night Shift (starring Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton).

All four of these are at the top of my Blu-ray wishlist.

Those four along with Blade Runner and The Thing make my top 6.

[Race Bannon]

That is indeed a great year. My favorites from your list would be:

1. Blade Runner.
2. First Blood.
3. The Thing.
7. Star Trek 2.
18. Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
20. An Officer and a Gentleman.

[Race Bannon]

Diner would be another one I like that's not yet listed.
