For those who weren't around during the glorious summer of 1982, it might seem like a random, inconsequential date. But as Yahoo! pointed out in a recent slideshow, 1982 was a summer of classics. Fifteen cinematic beasts turn 30 this summer, and each one has stood the test of time. Some of them -- "Conan the Barbarian," "The Thing," "TRON" -- have recently been the subjects of remakes. But let's not dwell on the negative.
From Cameron Crowe's screenwriting breakthrough, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," to Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning masterpiece, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," the summer of 1982 was a great time to be alive. In addition to the films listed below, Yahoo!'s slideshow includes "The Road Warrior," "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," "The Secret of Nimh," "The World According to Garp," "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Night Shift," and "Pink Floyd -- The Wall." All of them have aged extremely well.
Of course, if you think "Grease 2" or "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" are more deserving of the title, feel free to write one of those in, too! You can see a full list of 1982 releases here. Yahoo! kept its selection to movies released between May and August, but we won't tell anyone if you bend it a bit. What do you think is the best movie classic from the summer of 1982?

I like ET I remember my mom bought the movie and showed it to me. I'm pretty sure it was one of the earlier movies I ever remember seeing other than Toy Story 2.

I played it for my son on Netflix and he wanted to go see it in the theater. I had a hard time explaining that it hadn't been in theaters for a long time. (I know, there's the occasional re-release in theaters, but it's not all that often. If it happens close enough, I'll take my boy so he can watch it "properly".)
I've always been a huge "movie geek" so when I see a movie, I try to find out all the obscure "behind the scenes" crap that goes with it. *grins*
Two others from the summer of '82 ... Annie and Friday the 13 Part III (the first appearance of the mask?)
Pink Floyd The Wall...
And Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan... *raises a fist in ire* "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!"
By the way, did you know that Starships are all upholstered in "rich Corinthian leather?"
First time I saw the wall I was actually on acid,(shh don't tell anybody) changed my life. I'll never look at worms or brains the same again.
