Alamo Drafthouse will be celebrating 1982's summer of movies, which is considered one of the greatest summer of movies ever. They will be screening several of these films at their legendary theaters this summer.

A list of these films include, Conan the Barbarian, The Thing, Poltergeist, The Road Warrior, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Tron, The Dark Crystal, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Vice Squad, The Secret of Nimh, Friday the 13th Part 3, Q: The Winged Serpent, Pink Floyd: The Wall and more.

Thanks to our friends at /Film we have a look at the poster art created for Steven Spielberg's E.T. The poster was wonderfully created by artist Dan McCarthy.  It will go on sale at the screening on June 8th. If there are any left over from the screening, they will put them up for sale online. Just make sure to follow @MondoNews for details. »

6- The 10th Victim (La Decima vittima) (The Tenth Victim)

Directed by Elio Petri

Written by Tonino Guerra, Giorgio Salvioni, Ennio Flaiano and Elio Petri

Italy,1965

The 10th Victim was the first film to offer up the concept of a TV show wherein people hunt and kill one another for sport and to expand the idea into a satire on gameshows. Set in the 21st Century, the government and the private sector have joined forces to create a solution to crime by giving it a profitable outlet titled “The Big Hunt,” a popular worldwide game show in which contestants are chosen at random to chase one another around the world in a kill or be killed scenario. The winner of the first round moves on to the next. After ten wins, a player is retired from the game and gets a cash prize of one million dollars, but very few make it that far. »
