Sandor 797 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I voted for E.T. Not just because I'm a Williams-freak, but also because I truly think it's one of the greatest scores ever written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 E.T.,but Poltergeist is also one of my favourite scores of all time.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Poltergeist, ET, and KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!! In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 E.T., but I'm not too familiar with Poltergeist (I ordered the CD once, but it got lost at my cousin's house). The above mentioned Wrath of Khan, Monsignor and Ghandi are also fine scores from 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulky 6 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 First Blood was also one of the better scores that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST-321 4 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 ET of course. Conan the Barbarian would be my #2 with Kahn at #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanand 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 ET. One of the best scores ever. Poltergeist is pretty good, but it is no ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,331 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Blade Runner.I agree, Fiery. The chemistry between music and images in Blade Runner is fantastic. Without Vangelis' interpretation, Blade Runner wouldn't be the classic it is today. The music perfectly captures and distillates the sad and sombre tone of the movie. ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 Yep and just watched THE THING last night in tribute to 1982. Another Universal cult movie by John Carpenter and featuring one of the best ensemble casts since The Little Rascals. Features a moderately ok score by Ennio Morricone. Check out the poster credit at the end of the theatrical trailer. It lists Morricone as MORRICONI. I'll have him with cheese...please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly anything is mentioned about the 'great movies' of 1982.Roald, do we need to restate the obvious, we've had this discussion before though you have flatly disagreed, but in my 45 years, 1982 is simply the finest year for movies in my lifetime. Only 68 and 91 challange it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 68 and 91 challange it.I will remember 1982 for E.T., Poltergeist, The World According To Garp, Tootsie, Blade Runner and Sophie's Choice and maybe Ghandi (although to a lesser extent) and 48 Hours (just because it was so influential), but also (regrettably) for Conan The Barbarian, Tron, Rocky III and Airplane II. In what way does that list differentiate in terms of quality from 1981 or 1983? Or 1992? Doesn't EVERY year deliver truly great films (and bad ones)?

Sandor 797 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 And 91? Loved Beauty And The Beast, The Silence Of The Lambs, T2, A Midnight Clear, JFK (although lesser), The Commitments (was that 91?), Barton Fink, Boyz n the Hood, Jungle Fever and Cape Fear (a little!)But hated Robin Hood, Curly Sue (yuck!), Freddy's Dead, V.I. Warshawski and about 132 other films. Really great year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 You don't like Ghandi?Perhaps Alex was right about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 797 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Sure I like Gandhi, BUT it's a flawed film. And to be honest I found Terms of Endearment to be much stronger. I know Joe will (probably) agree with me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
