00:12 I can't think of a year during my life that the lineup was equivalent.
00:17 Week after week, you have one classic movie after another
00:21 that holds up 40 years later.
00:23 It was this great moment where nerds accidentally won.
00:27 There are two Steven Spielberg movies coming out within a week of each other.
00:32 They're here.
00:34 I remember calling my agents and saying,
00:36 "I don't know how much this is going to do for me,

00:45 It was one of the most transporting movies I'd ever seen.
00:47 You could certainly argue there were better years for cinema,
00:50 but there's no greater geek year than 1982.
