Good choices. Just playing Devil's advocate here...

why are some trilogies/series listed individually, while others are lumped together?

Boooo! How can you like Batman but not Batman: Returns? Batman: Returns was the only one of the sequels to maintain the same dark themes that really brought the comic book to life, thusly I command that you expand your list to 109 movies! Also, I must ask that you remove #56 - In the Army Now in favor of Biodome, which was truly Pauly Shore's finest hour and half.

Take out Ghost in the Shell, Vampire Hunter D, And Fist of the Northern Star. These 3 animes are crap. See Evangelion the Movie, Metropolis, and Grave of the Fireflies. Way better than any of that crap. And take out Harry potter and replace it with The Seven Samurai or some praise worthy classic.

Oh yeah the Blades movies...they suck
and um uh...Armageddeon
And ALL THE PAULY SHORE movies
and Stargate and Independence Day...Take em all out...cuz they suck

From the IMDb:

The episode number and subtitle "A New Hope" did not originally appear in the film's opening crawl. These were added to the April 10, 1981 re-release to be consistent with those seen in "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980)

My top 125 favorite movies with short commentaries by me!

1. Star Wars: Greatest movie of all time! where would we be without this movie? there'd be no hope for sci-fi.

2. The Empire Strikes Back: Best sequel ever! no doubt about this movie being a golden rule that sequels don't suck, some may debate on weither it's better than the original or not but nevertheless it's an accomplishment for george Lucas and friends.

3. Return of the Jedi: Some consider this movie to be the least of the original trilogy, but screw them! i say it's an excellent finale to the classic trilogy, the climax with Luke against Darth Vader and The Emperor is pure classic!

4. The Wizard of Oz: Greatest fantasy movie put on film! A flawless cinematic masterpiece that is still loved for many generations, it's also a life-changing movie that makes it one of the best movies i've ever seen.

5. The Dark Crystal: Jim Henson's and Frank Oz's dazzling and brilliant fantasy masterpiece took five years in the making of hard work entirely performed by puppets and animatronics which makes it a very unique movie in these days of CGI, my favorite movie as a kid and i still love it today even with it's awesome music score.

6. Harry Potter Movies: Lavish and wonderful adaptations of the J.K. Rowling books, they offer plenty of adventure, great acting even by Alan Rickman ( one of his best roles since Hans Grueber), and the music with backgrounds are nothing but lush.

7. Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Peter Jackson took a major risk of 7 years of bringing to life J.R.R. Tolkein's beloved literally masterpiece to life, he succeeds and is the stuff that movies are made of today.

8. Batman ( 1989): Tim Burton's triumphth adaptation of the popular DC character is pure movie gold! Jack Nicholson is just perfect to play the joker, the settings with atmosphere are just awe-inspiring and it's soundtrack by both Prince & Danny Devito rocks.

9. Total Recall: Fantastic mind-bending Science Fiction adventure from Paul Verhoeven with Arnold Schwartzenger as a construction worker whom is in search for his lost identity on Mars and has to save that planet. Packed with loads of violence, gore, action, great pre-CGI special effects, awesome music score by the late Jerry Goldsmith and intriguing story makes it one of the best movies i've ever seen since i first saw it at the age of 8 back in the summer of 1990.

10. The Last Unicorn: Underappreciated and magical yet emotional 1982 animated fantasy drama that is another childhood favorite of mine, it has the voices of Christopher Lee, Jeff Bridges, Alan Arkin, Mia Farrow, and Angela Lansbury, it has beautiful artwork, a hot cartoon chick in it and it's a dark yet somewhat feel good movie that makes it a must watch movie, can't wait for the live-action remake next year.

11. Blade Runner: The second best sci-fi movie of all time next to " Star Wars" and " 2001: A Space Odyssey", Ridley Scott's original Sci-fi thriller is an incredible and intelligent view of the future with Harrison Ford in one of his most memorable roles ever.

12. Con Air: Hands down, the best action movie i've ever seen! saw it twice in a theater in the summer of 1997.

13. Gangs of New York: Powerful and brutal epic from Martin Scorceses with a good cast, production values, and a story of gang warfare in the streets of New York somewhere in the 1800's.

14. The Rock: Jerry Bruckheimer's and Jerry Bruckheimer's last movie together before Simpson died of heroine overdose. Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage works great together as a duo to save San Francisco from manical terrorists.

15. The Fifth Element: Luc Besson's wild and imaginative Science Fiction/fantasy/comedy action adventure is a visual tale of Bruce Willis with a orange-haired alien beauty whom must save the world from the end of the world. Has lots of comedy, special effects, decent storyline and Gary Oldman is just funny as Zorg.

16. Armageddon: Love-it or hate it, it's nevertheless a fantastic thrill
with great special effects, fine acting by the cast even by Affeleck and Willis, a great music score by Hans Zimmer and heart.

17. Leon: The Professional: Luc Besson's stylish and heartfelt action drama is a brilliant story of a young girl befriends an Italian hitman for a chance to get revenge.

18. Jury Duty: Pauly Shore's finest comedy! a courtroom satire that turns the justice system on it's ear.

19. The Matrix: The one modern Sci-fi classic that spawned two alright sequels and a whole lot of rip-offs after it's release, it still has the power to dazzle the audience with it's philopshy, action sequences and classic visual effects.

20. Mulan: Best Disney movie i've ever seen! such a lovely and adventure ridden animated movie with great artwork, Eddie Murphy is just hilarious as Mushuu and a good meaning makes this a modern disney classic.

21. Aliens: James Cameron's superb sequel to "Alien" is probably superior to the original! it has great memorable quotes, good special effects by Stan Winston and hard-hitting action by Sigorney Weaver.

22. The Terminator: James Cameron's debut movie is a masterful and original Sci-fi movie that made Arnold Schwartzenger a big shot and gave a new catch phrase " I'll Be Back".

23. Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Excellent sequel by the same filmmakers and with Arnold back as the oil-blooded steel killer in human flesh now turned to bad guy. Groundbreaking visual effects by ILM, flawless acting, believable characters and emotion makes it one of the best movies ever.

24. Black Hawk Down: Gripping and highly accurate account on an event that happened in 1993 in Somalia, a little hard to watch at times but it's a rewarding experience.

25. Indiana Jones Trilogy: The mother of all adventure trilogies! Harrison Ford's second best character next to " Han Solo" and " Ric Deckard", all three movies are just pure magic.

26. Psycho ( 1960): The one and only classic by Alfred Hitchcock that influenced the slasher genre and is still king of all horror thrillers.

27. Schindler's List: Spielburg's masterpiece, 'nuff said.

28. Saving Private Ryan: Steven Spielburg's WWII saga is a rich and detailed account on D-Day, Spielburg definitely deserved to win best director and Tom Hanks gives an unforgettable performance.

29. Akira: The one that introduced audiences around the globe to anime when it hit theaters everywhere even here in the U.S.A, a violent and marvelous Japanese animated sci-fi thriller set in the future of Tokyo after WWIII where it's now an urban jungle of bikers, politicians, scientists, experiments involving ESP abilities and a mysterious power called "Akira".

30. Ghost in The Shell: Another Japanese animated classic from the makers of "Akira" that also hit theaters around the world just like it's cousin "Akira". A spellbinding and smart thriller about a cyborg cop with her partner going after the net's most deadliest hacker.

31. Jury Duty: Pauly Shore's finest comedy! A fun courtroom satire that turns the justice on it's ear.

32. 2001: A Space Odyssey: Third best sci-fi movie ever made with "Star Wars" being number one and "Blade Runner" being second, it's a brilliant and intellectual film that is probably Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece.

Will continue later, gotta go to work then i'll continue.
