My Nominations:
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Back to the Future
Die Hard

Back to the Future

 

[MadderMaximus]

Aliens
Crocodile Dundee
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Yeah, same with Blade Runner and Big Trouble In Little China, which were actually flops. Love'em, but I was too little to try and help out their box office earnings at the time :P

 

[sueb1863]

Back to the Future
Ghostbusters
The Empire Strikes Back

 

[Silvermoth]

Does caddyshack count as a blockbuster?

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm surprised there's only one Ghostbusters nomination.

Terminator
Blade runner
Honey I blew up the kids

That was out in 1992. Did you mean Honey I Shrunk the Kids?

Does caddyshack count as a blockbuster?

It made a bit more than The Terminator domestically so yeah, I think it could count.

 

[Schlosser85]

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Aliens
Empire Strikes Back

 

[lime]

Back to the Future
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Aliens

 

[Silvermoth]

[Iceman]

Predator
Empire and Raiders are probably going to be most popular and already have a number of nominations so I want to throw one out for Top Gun as I don't see anyone else mention it yet. Also if we can do multiple films from one series I would also add Last Crusade.
I would have wanted to mention Aliens/Terminator/Back to the Future but luckily they've already been nominated.
So the bolded are my choices.

The Goonies

 

[Silvermoth]

No. I want six nominations

 

[Batmannerism]

Die Hard ( best action flick ever)

Return of the Jedi ( I remember lining up for hours to see that)

ET ( not ashamed to say it made me tear up).
