Birth Year Challenge, 1982

Okay, this sounds fun. Based on kynky's challenge, I will watch 38 movies released in the year of my birth, 1982. All films must be first-time watches.


Progress: 21/42


EDIT, August 2020: I’ma turn 38 real soon here, so I’m adding Beastmaster, which means I still have an even thirty flicks that need watching. Maybe I’ll still be in my Thirts when I finish the challenge. Maaaaaybe.


EDIT, August 2021: oops, I made it to age 39 without finishing. No longer all that sanguine that I’ll complete things before the big Four-Zero.

EDIT, 2022: nooooope. I've been compelled to make the list a round 40. Ah, well, some year I'll get there.
