Geek Movies From The Summer of 1982 - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn

The Summer of 1982 reviews wraps up with my favorite film from that summer.  Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn is a film I generally watch at least once a year possible more.  I can remember waiting in line and finding out it was sold out.  Then my parents decided to go to the next show.

It was a rainy Saturday and with so many good movies out at the same time the cinemas were filled to capacity.  At the time movies very rarely were in more than one theater so the crowds were huge and the lines were long.  Face it that June had a lot of great movies and the fans were out.

The Geek Movies From The Summer Of 1982

The summer of 1982 has been heralded as one, if not the best, summer for movies.  Hell the whole damn year was pretty awesome for movies.   Films like Ghandi, Tootsie,  The Dark Crystal, 48Hrs and An Officer and A Gentlemen.  Heck a certain action hero had two movies out that year as Sylvester Stallone starred in Rocky 3 and brought Rambo to us for the first time in First Blood.   Stalwarts like Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson had movies out also with Firefox and Death Wish 2.  But I’m going to focus on a particular geek selection of movies that came out during the summer movie season. Now there won’t be any reviews in this article but more of a remembrance.  The reviews will come later and be more in depth.  Now let’s go back 30 years to 1982 and remember that summer of some of the finest movies to hit the geek world.
