1982 wasn’t just another year at the movies—it was a turning point. Audiences were transported to fantastical worlds, terrified by creatures from the deep, and inspired by visions of the future. From the emotional magic of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to the neon-drenched dystopia of Blade Runner, from Tron’s groundbreaking digital landscapes to the terror of Poltergeist—this was the year Hollywood redefined what blockbusters could be.
So grab your popcorn, rewind the VHS, and join Shawn, Susie and Craig as we journey back to 1982—a year that shaped the way we watch movies forever.
