Hmmm...
1.) Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
2.) Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring
3.) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
4.) Star Wars
5.) Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
6.) Pirates of the Carribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
7.) Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade
8.) Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark
9.) Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
10.) Office Space
The list continues
11.) Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom
12.) Saving Private Ryan
13.) Ronin
14.) The Princess Bride
15.) TRON
16.) The Professional
17.) Spies Like Us
18.) Memphis Belle
19.) The Big Lebowski
20.) Sniper
So there are 20. Big deal. So many movies popped into my mind that I had to list them all in some order. This doesn't include the Tom Clancy movies like Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger or The Hunt For Red October. It is also missing movies like Good Morning Vietnam and Rising Sun. It's really hard to justify throwing The Fugitive (original or Tommy Lee Jones/Harrison Ford remaker) in there along with Bullitt and The Getaway when the go up against cinematic blockbusters like LOTR and Indiana Jones. I'm also missing a few good "chick flicks" like What Women Want, You've Got Mail and Forces Of Nature. Then there are the Kevin Smith deals like Chasing Amy, Clerks, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And of course honorable mentions like Animal House and One Crazy Summer.
