In this article, I will discuss the best movies of 1982, starting with '48 Hrs.' and moving on to 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'. I will also discuss 'Blade Runner' and 'Star Trek II'. As with my previous lists, I will give my personal preference. If you have not seen any of these movies, you should. They're all classics, but I'll also discuss some lesser-known gems.

'48 Hrs.'

Originally a hit movie in 1982, '48 Hrs.' stars Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in a crime thriller about a convict cop and a cop-killing sociopath. Though the film was highly successful, it has since fallen out of favor. The dialogue is overly-dramatic, the characters are dull, and the film contains profanity, frequent racial epithesaurus, and graphic language. However, if you want to see a classic thriller about a cop killer, 48 Hrs. is definitely a must-see.

'48 Hrs.' stars Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte. This action-comedy stretches the limits of action-comedy. Nolte makes an unforgettable performance as an ex-cop on the hunt for a violent cop killer. In this film, Murphy takes a leave of absence from prison to go on a case. The DVD also has special features that were not included in the original film.

The show follows a variety of intriguing crime cases. Some of these investigations have led to exoneration of wrongly-convicted people, reopening long-closed cold cases, and changed lives. Its journalists offer a detailed analysis of each case, focusing on the mystery at its core. While '48 Hrs.' may not be your cup of tea, it has earned a lot of critical acclaim.

'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'

Despite its age, 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' has remained one of the best movies of all time, and it remains a memorable movie for many reasons. A feel-good adventure for children, it captures the imagination of film-going audiences nationwide, and it stays in their heads for the entire summer. The film appealed to a variety of age groups, and older viewers appreciated that it re-affirmed some old-fashioned values. Although some of the films' strengths have been diluted, 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' will draw crowds for the same reasons as it did in 1982: the nostalgia factor.

As one of the most successful films of 1982, 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' spawned several sequels, with many of the characters resurfacing at a later date. The film was also one of the most successful of Spielberg's films, and the popularity of the film has remained unmatched over the years. Whether you prefer Spielberg's work or another, 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' is sure to be a classic.

The movie's initial screening was at the Cannes Film Festival in 1982. Richard Corliss praised it in TIME, and the magazine even included E.T. on its list of "Men of the Year" - the first film character to receive such an honor. In 1983, the film was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and it won four of them.

'Blade Runner'

It is hard to say which film from 1982 is more popular, but the 'Blade Runner' franchise has held up over the years. In fact, many of these movies were released in 1982, making it a great year to watch a film. For example, two movies targeting the same demographic could have opened on the same weekend, but today, we have armies of highly-paid statisticians crunching the numbers for us to make sure that our movies open in a few weeks. But in 1982, the movies were very different. Science fiction films were a huge market, and 1982 had a large influx of these movies.

Blade Runner, which was based on the 1968 novel by Philip K. Dick, is a semi-autobiographical novel that has earned the title "The Machines of Our Time." While it may not be regarded as a classic, it is still one of the best movies of 1982. It is a good sci-fi film, but it pales in comparison to Ridley Scott's Alien, Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall, and even Ridley Scott's Alien. For this review, I'll focus on the 2007 DVD version of the film, as it has made the film much longer and more accessible to its audience. Interestingly, this DVD edition of the film also includes a "Director's Cut," which alters the original 1982 version in a few ways.

The film is an R-rated film, and it has plenty of gore and violence. It's a cop who hunts replicants. These machines look like humans, but in reality they're more like robots. In the film, he kills them one by one, and each replica is able to control the others' actions. And there's an endless supply of replicants. Ultimately, they can control and manipulate humans and other machines.

'Star Trek II'

Star Trek II is a sequel to the original series. The story continues with the infamous 'Trekkers', who are tasked with saving the universe. Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley return as the iconic trio of Captain Kirk, McCoy, and Spock. The movie is a classic, with a rousing and affecting final act.

This sequel to the original series is droll, adventurous, and gadget-happy. Star Trek II: The Motion Picture was made with a low budget, but the special effects were spectacular. The original series' red Starfleet uniforms and James Horner's score were all reminiscent of the iconic TV show. It also acknowledged the length of time that had passed since the original show, demonstrating how characters age as they progress through the series.

The cast of this sequel is surprisingly diverse. The movie introduced three new characters to the franchise, including half-Vulcan protege Saavik (Kirstie Alley), and the son of Kirk's first wife, Christine McCoy. Despite the diverse cast, the movie is also a melodramatic masterpiece. In addition to the cast, the film has fantastic special effects, and many memorable lines by William Shatner.

As a follow-up to the popular Space Seed episode, this sequel reintroduced the alien Khan, played by Ricardo Montalban. In the 1967 episode, Khan is a brilliant, charismatic leader who is now a twisted maniac obsessed with revenge on Captain Kirk. The villain, who also steals the U.S.S. Reliant, is a perfect example of this concept. This maniacal scumbag has been copied repeatedly in other Star Trek stories.

'The Haunted House Ghost Story'

Featuring a cast of eccentric characters, The Haunted House is a classic ghost story. It's overwrought, supersaturated, and features a paranormal investigator, a physicist, a wife, and a host of paranormal phenomena. The film's ghost is also not your usual scary apparition - it's a friendly specter who has a human soul, and it kills guests, paranormal investigators, and the house itself.

This supernatural thriller is based on real events in Amityville, New York. The movie was shot in New Jersey, and director Stuart Rosenberg enlisted the help of local police and fire departments to help with the production. The movie is notorious for its eye windows, creepy score, and set-design. Though the film's reception was mixed, it is still a classic in the horror genre, and the film's demonic "get out" scene has been a staple in horror movies for decades.

The film was shot over 38 days in Wilmington, North Carolina. The actual house, Bly Manor, was outfitted with the necessary rooms. There are a number of memorable scenes in the house, including a visit from the deceased husband. The movie's cinematography and sound editing brought out the horrors of the house. The cast members and crew acted magnificently and the movie is a definite must-see in 1982.

'The King of Comedy'

"The King of Comedy" is perhaps the greatest Scorsese film no one has ever seen. It features Robert DeNiro's best performance as a late night TV host and a spirited supporting cast, including Sandra Bernhard and Jerry Lewis. "The King of Comedy" was one of the most underrated movies of 1982, and deserves to be seen by all who love the style and the spirit of Scorsese.

The film also contains some interesting cameos, including Mick Jones and Joe Strummer from The Clash. Although this movie initially was a flop, it has since gained popularity, proving that it is one of the best movies of the year. The film's soundtrack has many songs from B.B. King, Ray Charles, Van Morrison, and other notable musicians. Although Scorses didn't make the movie's score himself, he has managed to create an excellent soundtrack.

In this movie, De Niro plays Rupert Pupkin, an unpromising stand-up comic who is obsessed with becoming a great comedian. He approaches Jerry Langford, a popular TV host, and makes several attempts to appear on his show. But his attempts to get on Langford's show fail. The movie is an observational study of celebrity and the machinations of fame and success.
