Great question

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Return of the Jedi
3. Star Wars A New Hope
4. Gladiator
5. Aliens
6. Raiders of The Lost Ark
7. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
8. Blade Runner
9. Good Fellas
10.Batman Begins

Can't believe I couldn't squeeze Heat in there.

And George Lucas can stick his SE and CGI rubbish updates of the originals where the sun don't shine.

Dude, that scene about sicilian history between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance is priceless! Great list btw, except maybe for Underworld ... though there is something to be said for Kate Beckinsale in tight leather outfits :)

Great post OP

All I can say is that the Godfather should/needs to be on everyone's list. It's like not having Stairway To Heaven on a top 10 song list
