Oops. Less than half. A few of my favs made the list, like Aliens, Terminator, Glory and The Incredibles, but there are quite a few missing, too. No X-men, or Armageddon or The Day After Tomorrow. No Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels, Three Kings or Jarhead. Or others I could mention.

Who made this list anyway?
