rukaio101 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Can someone tell me if Rocky or Rambo are there 370 and 253 respectively for the first movie in the series. There are far more worse rankings. Transformers is at 306, while TITANIC is at 339! This is the most list I've came across ! Titanic I can understand to a small extent (even if I wouldn't have personally put it on the list), but Transformers? No. Just no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
