I say no...first off many of those mentioned are remakes or a sequel - meaning nothing truly original....so that aside I see only 2 or 3 movies that would make the true list for 1982...
Blade Runner, ET, and stretching here with poltergeist...with Blade runner probably the truest original thought of the bunch (and probably my favorite sci fi flick). Some could argue for Tron but to be that was more about special effects than story. To be listed I think you need both. So do three movies make a killer year? Can you name another year that has more than three....or would year say 1968 make this for just one movie - that being 2001? Or 77 for star wars b/c it defined a genre going forward? Or can you give it to 82 for blade runner alone?
