Sci-fi and action movie fans fixated on the \u201980s might want to relocate for the summer to Austin, Texas, where the Alamo Drafthouse will revive Blade Runner, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial and other blockbusters from 1982 on the same day as their original releases 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

The nostalgia-inducing montage video above \u2014 made by Tommy Swenson and set to the tune of \u201cEye of the Tiger\u201d (what else?) \u2014 powers through a formidable stream of big-budget gore, sci-fi and action spatter from that epic year.<\/p>\n

\u201cA generation of imaginations were set aflame, and there has never been another stretch of cinematic dynamite to match it,\u201d said Alamo Drafthouse programmer Zack Carlson in a statement. \u201cThese movies endured beyond their opening weekend and decades later they\u2019re forever tattooed on the hearts of movie fans across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Summer of 1982 slate, which begins May 18, will also include Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Conan the Barbarian, The Road Warrior, Poltergeist, The Thing, Rocky III and Tron.
