at that tag line for it.

 

[Sawyer]

The tagline is right, you know. Any top 100+ list for movies/tv series/books/anything has people b****ing about it forever. At least this way people get to have a say in it.

 

[DDS]

1. Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2. Return of the Jedi
3. Terminator 2
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark
5. The Dark Knight
6. Jaws
7. The Incredibles
8. E.T.

[Kevin Roegele]

Such a waste of time....most popular films with (mainly British) Empire readers, a demographic of mainly males aged 18-32.

And so predictable....The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight will probably be in the top five....

 

[Raiden]

SW: The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Aliens
Saving Private Ryan
Spider-man 2
The Dark Knight
LOTR: ROTK
The Matrix
The Bourne Identity
Fight Club

[CashforStash]

Does anyone even read empire anymore?

 

[Prison Mike]

what's the point of this? there are so many "top movie" lists out there that there's no need for yet another one.

 

[Sentinel X]

I can tell you now....the top ten will be The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, The Dark Knight, The Empire Strikes Back, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Matrix, Fight Club, and Aliens or T2 or something similar.

Got my subscriber copy of the latest issue (with 007 on the cover). They're revealing the winner next issue and are celebrating it by printing (I kid you not) 101 different covers with a different movie on each and a special subscriber cover they're keeping secret.
