YUGE year IMHO. But I gotta go with mein krauts in this one. Greatest war movie ever made.
The Man from Snowy River
Really it's a vote for one of my dads, as he watches it constantly.
Kirk Douglas played two roles and nailed them both.
Decent soundtrack as well.
Other faves were
Annie
Carrol Burnett steals the show, and her lines were commonly used around the house.
Conan
Some nice tits throughout the movie. Exceptional violence as well.

Today I learned @GrundleStiltzkin is not a REAL submarine movie guysm.
I went with Das Boot even though I'm more likely to watch Rambo or Fast Times.
Stallone as Rambo was great. When he had Dennehy up against the tree after he ravages his whole crew of deputies and says "I could have killed ’em all, I could kill you. In town you’re the law, out here it’s me. Don’t push it. Don’t push it or I’ll give you a war you won’t believe." I sprung a boner.
Das Boot was a great movie, so I'm ok with my vote.

It's amazing how many lines R Lee Ermey borrowed from Lou Gossett. Only steers and queers come from Texas[/s] Oklahoma.

These have been fun yellow, thanks
Don't cancel me, yet. We still got some meaty years to cover.
Somehow I feel like a lot of vintage porn really isn't getting its full due in these poles.
We're gonna keep you plenty busy on this in the near future.

The Final Cut[/i] of Blade Runner is in my top 10, and is probably my favorite sci-fi film ever (also arguably the best film noir too, which is what this movie really is). Goddamn though, this 1982 list has some beasts.
Fast Times - one of the best and iconic teen sex comedies.
Ghandi - a worthy best picture winner, thanks largely to Ben Kingsley's performance
Wrath of Khan - the best Trek film ever released, and it has probably the best individual scene from any of these movies (watch even if you're not a Trek fan, it's more submarine pew pew thriller than highbrow nerd):
ET - an all time great for sure, and John Williams at his best
The Thing - can't praise this enough, probably only behind Ridley Scott's Alien[/i] (1979) for sci-fi horror
What a kingly list. I'm happy with whatever winning this one.

My sixth grade class went to downtown Seattle to watch Ghandi. Was good at first but then got boring to my sixth grade brain
I watched the thing in the wee hours of the morning, at my friend's house, right next to his parents' bedroom. I was right around that 6th grade zone too. We weren't supposed to be up so we were being very quiet...until they put the defibrillator on a guy, it went right through his chest, and giant teeth in there closed on the dude's wrists. My friend squealed out loud and I shouted something along the lines of "fuck! It bit off his hands!"
Naturally his mom got up and ripped us a new one, unplugged the cable from the TV, and assured us we wouldn't be reconnecting it for at least a month. I didn't see the final 2 hours of the movie, or whatever it was, for several years.
