I have avoided all of the Rocky and Rambo movies. I've never seen a single one.

The first Rocky is the only one I've heard anything about that makes me consider watching it. But nothing that would give me an extra nudge. For starters, I don't like Salvester Stalone, and secondly I don't like boxing.

I haven't seen Porco Rosso or Only Yesterday, but Whisper of the Heart I liked, just not as much as the ones I listed.
I actually liked the 2002 Spider-Man a lot. It is a very romantic film. Kirsten Dunst was my third celebrity crush after Kate Beckinsale and Claire Danes. But to be honest I don't like putting prioritization on ordering. I don't like trying to gauge if a film is slightly better than another or if I like it slightly more or less. One day I could "feel" like it's a bit more, another day I could "feel" like it's a bit less. I think it's kind of immature to put so much emphasis on such superficial evaluations that I'm not even qualified to make. Typically I rate my films by tiers. So I have like a top 10 or 15 tier, a top 50 tier, a top 100, etc... but within each tier I place them in no particular order.
I tried to structure this list in order to the best of my abilities, but if you really ask me, I do not value a movie one or two points higher on the list more than a movie one or two points lower. It was easier with this kind of list though because the genre is more exclusive.

Ghost World was high on my list.
I haven't seen Blue is the Warmest Color yet, but I have read the graphic novel. It's only alright as a graphic novel but I do see potential for a really good movie in there.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Ghost World, probably not surprisingly, both on my list. Hoped some of the great non-superhero stuff would be up at the tippy-top...but alas.
I had Pilgrim as my number five (twenty-one points), and Ghost World at number six (twenty points). Eleven of mine, thus far.

If I had participated, Ghost World would've been my number 1. Sad to see it so low, but the only way I could've come up with the requisite 25 films would've been to throw in lots of crappy filler like Man of Steel and I just couldn't bring myself to do that.
I guess I should just be glad Ghost World beat out Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, even though it was only by 1 point.

Ummmm Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a classic film. Dark, funny, exciting and immensely rewatchable.
The less we talk about the weaponless sequel the better.
