That's because Luke created this thread in Janurary 2005. That's why I bumped it. :)

That's funny. In that other thread, you said you've only seen the first Star Wars twice and had no need to see the others any time soon.

I guess this proves how seriously we should take Lazario in his controversialness or how seriously we should take Lazario in general.

Given the number of great movies in this list, ranking them was extremely hard. Admittedly, I haven't seen some of these in a while, so that could hurt them in comparison.

2003: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
1980: The Empire Strikes Back
1985: Back to the Future
1991: Terminator 2: Judgment Day
1993: Jurassic Park
1983: Return of the Jedi
1990: Home Alone
2001: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
1992: Aladdin
1995: Toy Story
1989: Batman
2002: Spider-man
1997: Titanic
1984: Ghostbusters
1982: E.T.
1981: Raiders of the Lost Ark
1999: Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

1996: Independence Day
1998: Saving Private Ryan
1994: Forrest Gump
1986: Top Gun

I don't think my rankings have changed much, but then, I've only managed to watch like three or four of these movies since posting this thread. But I have another one to add to the "Not Seen" list. I'm getting bad about seeing the "must-see" movies. Too much time spent reviewing Disney DVDs, I guess.

I edited my list in case people are interested. :P

Switched around a few movies, added Dead Man's Chest, biggest change was chaning LOTR: ROTK to 1/10. That movie's awful.

Check the box that says "Disable Smilies in this post" before clicking "Submit." It's the third one down in the area right beneath the place where you type your reply.

Or you could just use a different format than the parenthesis one.
