1980-1982, Years That Changed Everything

A lot of what has formed my interests and tastes in pop culture can be traced back to the formative years of 1980-1982. Even if I didn't see the movies listed below at the time, the tone and style of the movies produced at that time very much entertains me still. Bold movies lie in my favorites for fantasy/sci-fi.

Movies
Airplane! (1980)
Altered States (1980)
Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) (don't ask)
Flash Gordon (1980)
The Fog (1980)
Shining, The (1980)
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Boot, Das (1981)
Caveman (1981)
Clash of the Titans (1981)
Dragonslayer (1981)
Escape from New York (1981)
Excalibur (1981)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Scanners (1981)

Blade Runner (1982)
Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Creepshow (1982)
Dark Crystal, The (1982)
Firefox (1982)
Megaforce (1982) (again... don't ask, but if you're looking for a cheesy performance by Spin City's Barry Bostwick, look no further!)
The Thing (1982)
TRON (1982)
Secret of NIMH, The (1982)
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982) (arguably the best Star Trek movie)
