Sorry guys, I have to take my step son out for some practice driving. I hate to go, this is a lot of fun. But I will try to be back in a couple of hours. Cant wait to see the top 25. JAWS better be there.

You should teach swimming instead so can swim from the shark. Diving will teach him to dive into the shark.

DH1 should be on the list.

[Heretic]

Would have thought The Last Crusade would be higher up.

I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies

[CJohn]

I was expecting Silence of the Lambs to be closer to the top spot.Good to see The Last Crusade in there. Raiders of the Lost Ark will also definitly be in here somewhere.

I have seen Temple of Doom and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Yeah, I don't have the best impression of Indy...

[CoolioD1]

DH1 should be on the list.

You're the worst

[acsc1312]

DH1 should be on the list.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

They are overrated.

Blame Noctis if it isn't. He forgot to make a list.

[CJohn]

I believe there will be at least 4 Harry Potter movies in this list.

[CoolioD1]

If ANY of the Harry Potter movies get in over some of the films already listed I'll be pissed.

No seriously. I know it won't be, but DH1 is by far the best Potter film.

[Heretic]

The Magdalene Sisters is a fantastic film. Watched it the other day

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I am worried Elephant Man will not make it on the list.

[acsc1312]

I forgot to put HBP on my list, which is my favorite Potter film.

[4815162342]

If a Harry Potter film gets ranked higher than Empire Strikes Back or Raiders of the Lost Ark I'll hunt one of Noctis' Legion down.

[CoolioD1]

The Magdalene Sisters is a fantastic film. Watched it the other day

Did you do a list?

[Heretic]

I like some controversy.
