Some of these movies I've never even heard of. And others I'm really surprised to see on the list. Also, you need to watch Ghostbusters! I ♥ those movies.

Ghostbusters is one of those I'm kind of embarrassed to admit I haven't seen. I'm not really sure how I've never come across it in my almost 26 years.

Some of the movies on that list have no place being there, IMO.

Haha Hollywood is so overrated. /random

I'm kind of surprised at a few of the ones that made it, but not really anything that makes me go "what? How did THAT get there?" There are definitely a few I wish hadn't made it on, but oh well.

And yes, Hollywood's definitely overrated.

I'm surprised that Ep III grossed as much as it did, according to that list. Lucas kept saying how "dark" it was.

Ep II is on there, which is nice to see, but low, so I guess people really didn't like it that much.

I still wish he hadn't cut out so much of the Padme character development, but oh well. That's what fanfic is for.

RotS was the payoff everyone had been waiting for - the rise of Vader, the badass Anakin/Obi-Wan fight. :)

AotC didn't make quite as much as the others - but that it made it onto the list at all certainly says to me that it wasn't as "hated" as some vocal bashers claim. And having all six films in the series end up on the list? Hardly a flop. ;) (I was surprised that more of the HP movies weren't on there.)

I wouldn't be at all surprised if GL re-added the Padme scenes in a future cut. You can tell he really wanted to keep them, and that it was really Burtt who was pushing to cut all the "talky" scenes.

Gotta steal this meme!

And wow, Shrek the Third really did that well? Huh.

I was really surprised to see that, but that only one of the HP films made it.

Ooh, might snag this meme too!

You never watched Gone with the wind? One of my all-time favorite movies! ;) I was surprised to see I had watched a good number of those flicks, more than I thought....

I am so glad to see Star Wars being everywhere and ROTS grossing so much even after the inflation adjusting!
