I remember a joke by '80s comedian Doug Ferrari:
What does the acronym HBO stand for?
"Hey, Beastmaster's on!"
Thank you for saving me from this abysmally dead day at work.
The highest artistic achievement of the decade is back... and with a VENGEANCE!!!!
A-Freaken-Men
It's very impressive

Wow, it's kinda cool hearing 'Optimus Prime' (Peter Cullen) earring the 'Beast Within' trailer.
I'm surprised Morgan Fairchild's shotgun wasn't nominated for an Oscar.
Greatest Oscar snub of all time.
He lost out to Dirty Harry's Magnum.
It got lost behind Andrew Stevens's hair-do. And the thickness of Morgan Fairchilds' makeup.
Edit: spelling
Morgan Unfairchild 😔
_First Blood_ has what could be my favorite BTS showbiz story of all time. When David Morrell sold the film rights to the novel, his lawyer wanted to charge him an extra $500 to have a clause put into the contract allowing Morrell to share in any merchandising and sequel revenues. Morrell thought his lawyer was crazy. "What merchandising?" he said. "This is a book about a psychotic killer! Who's going to want to make toys and lunchboxes out of that? And what sequel? Everyone's dead at the end!" "Sit down, son," his lawyer said gently. "You don't understand Hollywood. They can do anything they want to with this book. Hell, they could turn it into a musical if they wanted." So Morrell thought it over, and reluctantly forked over the $500. He later said it was the best money he ever spent. That clause in his contract made him millions.
Oh my I was waiting for the ending of that story to be he did NOT pay the $500 and lost out on millions...I was feeling sick
Brilliant lawyer...What's his name?
@@patgalvez4563 I know, right? I hope Morrell gave him a nice bonus!
Just a good lawyer right there. 🤘
Grear story. Was it on one of the new commentaries or interviews?
Keep making these yearly compliations. The memories just keep flooding back
I second that. I will happily subscribe to Brad's Patreon to see more videos like this, especially if he tackles trailers from the late 70's one day.
@@cyrussoxlegion Actually , I wish he would go BACK and do 1979 . Quentin Tarantino has a clip on here "All the movies I saw IN the theatre in 1979" . It's pretty amusing.
Agreed
They also give us movie buffs some excellent recommendations.
1982 had 3 of my favorite childhood movies: The Secret of NIMH, ET and Annie.
it feels like "I Love the 80s: Snob Edition"
4 fucking hours of Cinema Snob?! Thank you very much!😃😎
Normal movie fans: Top Gun Maverick is the blockbuster movie of Summer!
Cienma Snob: Hold my can of New Coke you’ll have 4 hours of great material!
Snob needs to review 'Mighty Mouse & The Great Space Chase'. If he can't find the VHS, it's already uploaded on TH-cam. He should also review 'Daffy & Porky Meet The Groovy Ghoulies.' It has alot of great material there for him to work with.
THX is an auditorium quality certification. If a theater is inspected and meets soundproofing and equipment requirements it gets a THX plaque. Lucas invented it because he realized that much of the sound of Star Wars that he put so much personal effort in to had been butchered by most theaters poor sound quality at the time. He made it clear to theater owners that he wanted Empire Strikes Back and Indiana Jones to play in THX theaters only. The rest is history.
This series is seriously award worthy. I was so lucky to have been film reviewer for my college newspaper back then; the greatest time in history to be one. I saw so many of these movies free and reviewed them, good and bad. And not just new films, but all the old classics played literally everywhere. Right before VHS and cable really took off, there was a huge cinema culture. Movies were screened literally everywhere: in bars, on campuses, at museums, symphony halls, you name it. A time and a culture now sadly gone, or at least morphed into something less magical. These are some sweet memories.
Also: remember Midnight Movies ?
@@joesimon2029 it's been argued that The Room was a midnight movie
@@pentelegomenon1175 But *nothing by Neil Breen* is a midnight movie.
He said as much in his 5 hour retrospective. Seriously.
@@joesimon2029 Certainly.
A truly great year in cinema: great dramas, great horror films, and great sci-fi films.
Admittedly hot takes here: I actually enjoy Amityville 2 and Grease 2 more (the former because it doesn’t have nearly as many stretches of little happening and was gutsy in how it completely disregard the actual story instead of pretending to be a faithful depiction, and the latter because it has more songs I actually like and is a lot more honest about how douchey it’s characters are).
Can’t wait for the 6 hour 1984 In Film episode, which will be 75% Sol jokes
What about Sharp Hand Joe? 🧐
More like 5 hours, making it the longest Cinema Snob episode ever
At the 1983 Oscars Richard Attenborough remarked on E.T. during his Gandhi acceptance speech, saying "Steven Spielberg makes much more original and exciting films than myself." Very generous of him. Later during the press interviews, Sir Richard quietly told Spielberg in his ear; "You should be holding this award, for Best Director." Obviously this would've been very flattering for Spielberg especially being a huge admirer of Attenborough's work. And of course he'd cast him in Jurassic Park a decade later.
4 hour Cinema Snob episode? Let's go!
So many fond memories in Cinema that year. Cannot imagine how much work you had to put into this. Thanks Brad!!
Seeing The World According to Garp opened my young impressionable mind to all sorts of weirdness.
Lol. I used to rent garp when I was probably 12 or 13, just because I liked robin williams so much. And I was totally fascinated and entertained by the movie. Even though at least half of it went over my young head.
I've always loved the fact that Porky's was released the week I was born. I'm pretty sure that seeing Porky's was my parents first date after I was born.
Brad...you keep knocking it out of the park, man. Fantastic work. And everybody thank Mrs. Snob for mad patience.
Thank you, Brad. Finally, you brought out your magnum opus of nostalgia. In arguably one of the best year in film. PERIOD!!
One month later, and now James Caan in "Kiss Me Goodbye" hits a little different...
RIP
I automatically trust the Snob's opinion 100% more, knowing he was also drawn in by the Boris Vallejo box art for "Q: The Winged Serpent."
Got this notification and now I'm like, "Damn. Now I gotta reschedule my evening plans. 4 hours of Cinema Snob, baby!"
The gator scene from Brutes and Savages may be the funniest unintentionally funny scene ever.
Yes 1982 in my opinion is one of the best years for Cinema.
And it was also the year WABC-AM in New York City pulled the plug on their all-music format and went to an all-talk format, and Dan Ingram and Ron Lundy did a special show reminiscing about the station. If its first year on WABC as a talk station, it was too boring, so we had to flip to FM for their music fix.
1987 might be the best. It had: The Running Man, Gi-Joe, Predator, The Living Daylights, Evil Dead 2, Lethal Weapon and RoboCop.
@@wilcee238 Also Spaceballs, Princess Bride, Hamburger Hill, Good Morning Vietnam, the list seems to be endless.
My fave, 1984 is next on the docket!
I listened and watched this while buzzed and whilst fixing and cleaning my PS2 collection...🤘🏼💯✔️
This must be the most uninteresting comment in the history of TH-cam.
@@veritas4364 Ok, if so, well, then so may it be...👌🏼 If I earned that accolade then I must accept it...💯✔️ If it's true, welp, I'm actually very proud of it...❤️ Thank you for bringing it to my attention...💫
@@veritas4364 I can see that you haven't been here long, trust me friend, after thousands of "First!" comments and people just quoting the video, OP's comment is far from most unintresting comments in TH-cam.
These year reviews are the greatest thing on TH-cam.
Ill be listening to this while at my job i wait for the entire compilation for that reason
Read about what happened during the making of Venom. It was all director Piers Haggard could do to stop Klaus Kinski and Oliver Reed from absolutely killing each other every single day. Sounds fun!
He really shoulda let them, and filmed it.
I saw Gandhi for the first time almost 9 months ago after seeing that it won Best Picture over ET. So I gave it a watch and while I don't think it's as great as ET, I still see it as one of the great biographical films I've ever seen in my entire life. An amazing performance from Ben Kingsley, beautiful sets and costumes, impressive makeup, a first rate instrumental score, great editing, great sound design, great writing, great directing and brilliant cinematography. I would call it one of my all time favorite Best Picture winners.
What about a crossover of the two films? Best of both worlds!
No, I don't think that Gandhi and E.T. would make a good crossover. They are totally different films. And fun fact, Richard Attenborough, the director of Gandhi was in Steven Spielberg's film Jurassic Park where he played as Dr John Hammond and Steven Spielberg directed E.T. So technically you would say that there is a crossover. And Ben Kingsley played as Itzhak Stern in Schindler's List which was also directed by Steven Spielberg and like Gandhi also won Best Picture at the Oscars in 1994.
if only it was accurate
"There were a million witnesses but no one saw it happen" Love it:)
This is the year where the '80s truly gained its identity.
Damn, the year my dad graduated high school.
That was a good year for movies.
Ouch.
This is fun 4 hours of me watching 1982 film trailers.
I remember my folks dropping me and my older brother & sister off at the movie theater to watch Rocky III in the Summer of 1982. I was 8 1/2 at the time. We saw ET a few weeks later and then The Toy a few months after that!
An episode longer than a Lord Of The Rings movie.....that's what we want!! And thanks for playing What A Fool Believes....it got stuck in my head all day
AND much more entertaining to watch!
Heidi interrupting a football game... That is such a deep, specific, and out of character sports reference... Bravo.
I believe the kids say... IYKYK
At this rate 1989 in film will be 8 hrs long and honestly Brad, I have absolutely no issues with that.
Who needs 42nd street forever when you have "198x in film" ?
I did laugh out loud at the "I'm a popper, he's a popper she's a popper" joke though...
My top 10 favorite films of 1982 in alphabetical order...
Blade Runner (Final Cut)
Conan the Barbarian
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Friday the 13th Part III
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
Poltergeist
Rocky III
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
The Thing
Tron
Not only is this video longer than Gandhi, but it's also 2 minutes longer than Zack Snyder's Justice League.
I was 8yr old then, time really does fly. Great video. Well done 👏
These yearly retrospectives are just heaven to an 80s kid! Thanks so much for these videos!
Yea! Can’t wait for 1984!
Agreed
Could not agree more.
@@wingsandash I kinda want 1979 ..
I love love love these yearly flashbacks!!!!!
I've been watching this video on my lunch break for the last two weeks, and I'm now halfway through the video!
Two weeks later (a month in total) and I've finally finished watching this video!
At 4 hours, 4 minutes, this is officially the longest Cinema Snob episode ever put out! Wonder if "1983 in Film" will be able to top it?
1982 seems to be the year of so many personal favorite films... John Carpenter's The Thing, 48 Hrs., Blade Runner, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, and First Blood!
and i enjoyed every second
I think the 1983 in film video will just be the clip of Diane Weist blowing herself up from ID 83 repeatedly lol
Another thing I noticed with all the trailers was the transition from the 70s era and vibe to the 80s era of mainstream cinema.
I would argue Morbius was the most memorable release of 1982
I think 1985 will be longer
I absolutely love when brad does this. It makes for a good evening at home remembering old films. It also makes for a great second viewing when you're doing stuff around the house and having it play in the background. Great memories and great jokes. Thanks for doing this brad
Halloween 3 has always been my favorite Halloween sequel
I never tire of these. Your transitions from movie to movie are as excellent as the descriptions of the movies themselves. The sheer amount of time and editing that goes into these is stupid-impressive.
That's funny... America Video was a huge distributor of Cannon movies here in Brazil during the VHS era, but I had no idea they also had Concrete Jungle on their library.
By the way, great video, sir!
If The Fan, or The Seduction, were made today, it would be a Lifetime movie. The trailer narration would have the same narration that every Lifetime movie has, “She had the perfect life….”
Love this series.
You mentioned that The Escape Artist took two years to come out,ironically Gregorys Girl took two years to have a US release having been released in the UK in 1980.
YAY I LOVE THIS!!!! Proud to be old at 50 year 2022!!!
Thank you Snob.
1980s: "We got sequels!"
Present Day: "We got sequels, prequels, requels, and reboots!"
1:50:00
Growing up, my father always said his favorite movie was 'Blade Runner' but I was 6 in1982.
When I was 30, I saw
The Thing for the 3 time.
It is now MY favorite movie.
Like you said, what a week for underappreciated movies.
It was life changing in my familly!!
Never gonna finish this vid-keep pausing to check the availability of films! Fantastic commentary, I appreciate your love for (most) of these pics! Very nostalgic for those early HBO/Showtime years!!
Thanks so much for this series, Brad.
"but does it include Bob and Ray, and the kids?!"
you got me good there, I'm gonna be saying that about every credits scene
My old man wanted a copy of If You Can See What I Hear on DVD but it was never released on it. We eventually found a bootleg for him
I realize what a monumental amount of work must go into the making of these compilation year in review videos so I just want to say thank you and how much I am enjoying them. I genuinely hope they are worth your time to put out.
My god. This makes my life worth living. What a pleasant surprise. 😂
💖I'm so excited! I love this year in film series!! 1982 was a GOOD one, too!!💖
Yeah, I'm gonna need the rest of the eighties reviewed by the end of the week. This is "Best of the year across any channel" content.
holy shit this is 4 hours?! i gotta schedule watching this one
Brad, nothing can overstate how I appreciate how much effort you've put into these series. Might take me a week to finish but thanks.
It takes real dedication to still have ET toys after suffering through several ET pornos.
Oh my god, I can't watch this now. It's past midnight here. But thank you, Brad! This is the year I was born.
I watched many of these as a kid but how do I really know I'm getting old? I took a nap while this was playing for the second time.
the Year i was born, i will enjoy this video very much.
4 more years til 86!
Well, there goes my evening.
I love "Venom", "Vice Squad" and "Quest For Fire" great episode.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these wonderfully long dives into nostalgia, even though I was born after the 80’s. They’re weirdly fascinating and comforting.
Thoroughly enjoyed 80, 81 and 82. 1983, 84 and 85 please! Keep them coming!
I look forward to whenever these are posted. Also for your musical March in September may I recommend Forbidden Zone. It is if Pink Floyd's The Wall, Alice in Wonderland, and Yellow Submarine did drugs together and it is the result directed by Danny Elfman's brother Richard Elfman and stars Hervé from Fantasy Island.
I hope midnight screenings will be returning soon as well.
I have to be one of the few living witnesses who saw Inchon in its first theatrical run.
I'm with Brad's wife.
Good to know I'm not the only one who finds ET terrifying lol
Just be thankful it wasn't the ET German porno version
Why are you with his wife, bro?!
😐 they mean they’re agreeing with her Bro.
Brad's horse impression is my new favorite recurring animal voice
I always look forward to these every year, not just for the Snob's acerbic wit and brilliant non-sequiter humour, but also the highlighting of great movies, and suggestions for stuff I've never seen but might really want to. Bravo, Snob. Long may this series continue
I have an E.T. fear myself... Even though I know it is a good movie, I still can't bear to see it due to my past trauma with it following the cornfield scene near the beginning. My personal favorites of 1982 are Firefox, TRON, Blade Runner, and First Blood.
Being born in 82 I consider this my personal 40th birthday gift. Keep up being awesom Brad!
I'll be 24 this year and watching this even makes me feel old.
Eastwood’s “Firefox” and “web browser” equals priceless : )
I’m such a nerd for the 80s. I watched this and was totally amused that both Christopher Atkins and Marc Singer had guest appearances on Dallas.
Oh yes, my favourite thing you do. I'm cancelling all plans for the evening and giving this my full attention.
I wanted to take the time to let you know that I appreciate what you do ( I know these complete entire year reviews must be painstaking ) and I see how much effort is put in. Just finished it in its entirety , I’ve been a sub for about six months - please keep up the excellent content / work. Thanks
I so love these year reviews in the movies that you are doing.
Keep up the great work, Brad!
The thing I love about these is seeing the forgotten and underrated movies.
I'm 42, uuuuggggghhhh I know most of these movies... damn I'm feelin' old right now
These are definitely among my favorites of your material ! Really can’t wait to see 1983 !
Same here, '83 is right up there as one of my favorite years for movies (84 too!) I took time off between hs and college and saw pretty much everything at the cinema. My only regret is not seeing The Right Stuff on the big screen 😕
The Trailer Voice was never really appreciated until it was gone. So great. I miss it now. Imagine Scream 2022 with the Trailer Voice. 😱😱😱
Thank you Snob, I have trouble falling asleep and your show winds me down. Cheers
Once a year is not enough! I wanna binge the whole decade! These videos are so good because I feel your passion for film & the 80s.
The main reason I can’t wait for 2024 is so I can hear Snob’s thoughts on Once Upon a Time in America
Night Shift is a great movie. Can’t stress that enough
Between this series and Movie Timelines reviewing EVERY horror and scifi movie of the 80s, I'm in nostaglia heaven
Legend has it that Sebastian Cabot is STILL funny floating!
Now I'm picturing you as Troy Mclure from the simpsons "You may remember me from such youtube videos as 1982 - 4 hours of edging"
The Verdict (1982) is one of Lumet's absolute best films.
