Today, Monday, April 23, marks 30 years of my existence on the face of the Earth. But, I'm not posting this as a means of getting birthday wishes (seriously, I'm not), but to reflect on a period of time that some of you know about called 1982. There were a lot of great feature films that came out at that time, some that have drifted into obscurity, others that have become cult classics and still have a following, and those that still continue to live on as new generations get a chance to see them. So, to mark 30 years (for myself and for these films), I've composed a list of 30 films for all you guys that I recommend. Some of these I recommend not just for the fun of it, but some of them that those who are into filmmaking should watch, from including various genres such as action, horror, sci-fi, comedy, drama and a couple of documentaries thrown in there. In fact, some of these you may have already watched about 50+ times or are planning to watch soon because you heard of them. But here is the list of 30 Movies from 1982. I hope you decide to take the chance and watch them (or watch those that you haven't seen yet, or in case of the RPF, watch some of them yet again):
