Throughout cinema history, there are certain years that people look back on in awe over the amount of legendary films released within those 365 days. 1939, 1975 and 1999 leap most readily to mind. If you are geekily inclined, the summer of 1982 also belongs in that pantheon. This is the year that brought us Conan the Barbarian, The Road Warrior, Rocky III, Poltergeist, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, E.T., John Carpenter's The Thing, Tron and Blade Runer!
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of this crazy summer, the fine folks of The Alamo Drafthouse are going to be showing all of these films in 35mm on the weekend of their original release! This is so cool it almost has me contemplating moving to Austin, Texas for the summer. Anyone got a couch to surf?
