Top 100 movies of all time.

50. Badlands

[Skull]

I didn't think you were ;)
But aren't they all called Star Wars ? I thought, example, Episode 5 was called STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Or is it only THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK ?

I wonder if there's a different convention overseas.  Here in the US we refer to it just as THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, I've never heard anyone call it STAR WARS EPISODE V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.

Its just called TESB here too.

Only fans call them by episodes.

Not really. It's been called episodes after the digital remaster remakes from the 1990's [Hmmm... anther reason why I hate the 1990's]... actually the first generation star wars fans call Star Wars (1977) Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back (1980) Emprie Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (1983) the Return of the Muppets or Muppets strike back! PS most first generation fans dont like the digital mustache.

It's the second and third generation that calls them episodes.

vik ~ I take it that you seen Badlands...

51. Empire Strikes Back (1980) (because its better then Star Wars)

51. Empire Strikes Back (1980) (because its better then Star Wars)

Yeah, I saw it a few days back

51. Empire Strikes Back (1980) (because its better then Star Wars)

Lots, maybe even most, people think that way.  I've never bought it.  I think the best you could say is that it's equal to STAR WARS.  But I prefer SW because it's a self contained story, and because it was a new universe totally built from scratch.  They really didn't even have to make a sequel, it could have stood alone.

Anyway...

53. CHINATOWN

[Doggett]

54. Midnight Run.

[InformationGeek]

55. The Dark Knight

[Vik]

56. Inception

[JaseSF]

57. From Here To Eternity (1953)

[Raffine]

58. CITIZEN KANE



Many sneer when this one inevitably turns up on best movie lists, but it really deserves all of its praise in my opinion.

53. CHINATOWN

That is true... although what makes Empire Strikes Back so good its that it respects the first movie and not many sequels can do that.

Speaking of a good made sequel...
