I had both of these, Dangerous Liaisons at #4 and Long Good Friday at #21. Not enough combined points to get either of them on the list, sadly.

The Hitcher is great. Should have been there.

I totally forgot about The Hitcher as well, it would have been on my list.

Lets see if I guessed the next movie correctly. I say The Terminator shows up today!

It cannot go any higher than 4th place.

My list (I voted a bit strategically so I didn't put in it films like ESB, Raiders and Blade Runner because I was sure they would be around the top 5, I am surprised how high The Terminator got, if I knew that I wouldn't have put it into my list I guess ):

1 - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind 1984(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087544/?ref_=sr_1)
2 - My Neighbor Totoro 1988 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096283/?ref_=sr_1)
3 - Grave of the Fireflies 1988 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095327/?ref_=sr_1)
4 - Castle in the Sky 1986 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092067/?ref_=sr_1)
5 - Kiki's Delivery Service 1989 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097814/?ref_=sr_1)

19- Dune 1984 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/?ref_=sr_1)
20 - Fanny and Alexander 1982 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083922/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)

25 - Shoah 1985 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090015/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)

Including classics such as Dune (still the worst movie ever made), Commando (all time peak in Arnie onscreen kills) and Rocky IV (peak of 1980's cheese).

F*ck yeah! The fifth best American science fiction film of all time, just behind Blade Runner, Star Wars, ESB and 2001.

Yup, The Terminator at number four. I had it at number 7

Had Duh Derminaidor in 8th...

As you can see, only eight points separated #5 and #4. As I was tallying the scores Cameron's science-fiction classic was a runaway leader for a while, only to be knocked out of the top three in the second half of the process. It ultimately ended up on 30 lists in total, the least of the top 5, nineteen of which were in the top 10. It placed first on just one member's list.

Wow an 8 point difference pushed it ahead of Empire.
