My Favs Can't Believe no One mentioned it yet

 

[Skeptic]

I thought about Gladiator... but there were others ahead of it

 

[tim290280]

Star Wars - obviously
Indiana Jones - duh
Fist Full of Dollars
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Phantom of the Opera
Close Encounters

All of these you can play and immediately conjour up the film again. I can't think of the others but there are plenty of classics.

Terminator I, liked it even better than Judgment Day

Here´s Judgment Day:

Not putting the Rise Of The Machines, because the whole movie sucked donkey balls.
Once Upon A Time In China, Jet Li:

Edit: Motherfucker with embedding :footmouth:
Conan the Barbarian:

Robocop:

Starship Troopers:

The Rock:

Top Gun:

Madagascar 2, actually the best movie I´ve seen in years:

 

[lifterdead]

Some good ones on the list. 2001 should definitely be in the top ten.

Gladiator I considered, I like Hans Zimmerman, but decided it didn't deserve top ten. Same with Indiana Jones. I'd put Schindler's list ahead of it.


Transformers had a surprisingly decent score.

 

[Skeptic]

The Transformers film, although I liked it, didn't score too high obviously... but the sountrack I really liked.
