my own personal thoughts:
-Aliens is a James Camron masterpiece...I f*ckin love that movie, it is timeless, and to this very day I am still upset that they disgraced it by killing Newt in part 3...I might put it behind T2 though...T2 was the only SUPER-HYPED sequel that actually lived up to every single bit of that hype...I can't think of another sequel that has accomplished that...
-I don't care about the Godfather movies...I realize that I am in the minority on that, but I wouldn't have that in my own top 20 even...just my opinion, and I know other's don't see it the same as me...In fact I bet alot of you think it should be #1...I won't argue it.
-Empire > Dark Knight...
-Temple of Doom > Bourne/Evil Dead/Batman Returns
-good to see X2 get some props...one of the best comic hero flicks ever made IMO...
-Blade 2 was great, should be higher than 42 IMO...
- Wes Craven's New Nightmare???...WTF???...GTFO...and I LOVE Freddy
