Whether or not you agree with some of the choices on the list, you got a few have a bit of a bad rep.  Ghostbusters 2 is still pretty great, even if they cannot top the first film.

Overall, I agree with 10, 9, 2, and 1.  The rest I can't comment on since I never seen them before.

I love the AVGN and totally agree here. Spider-man 3 and Indy 4 anyway. Jurassic park 2 I didn't like too much. I also didn't see half of these films, so yeah.

I admit I like several of those movie he's mentioned.  Especially Lost World.

What lost me with this top 10 list was near the end, where he complained about how people review movies.

Nitpicking, focusing on one scenes implausabilty, and being unable to suspend disbelief.  James is complaining about trend HE helped make popular.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

He does it for the sake of comedy, and with videogames. From what I've seen he's more serious when it comes to movies.

Terminator 3 was dull, including the big crane chase scene.  I've never warmed up to The Lost World either.  I do like the choice of Gremlins 2, one of the most entertaining films I've seen.  It's too gleeful to not enjoy.

I actually like Terminator 3 more then Terminator 2.  If nothing else, at least T3 doesn't have scene after scene of an annoying little boy bonding with a cute, cuddly killing machine.
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

Gremlins 2 far as I'm concerned went way past the original in entertainment value.  And I found the first one to be highly entertaining btw.  

Back To The Future Part 3 was very enjoyable.  They kept it simple but it truly had it's own personal place in the triology.  

Spidey 3 I actually didn't mind.  I'm one of few I guess.  I kind of dug the bad Spiderman thing.

Halloween 3 I've been very public about appreciating.  Matter of fact its the only Halloween movie I like.

However,  Jurassic Park 2 sucked for me plain and simple.  Rocky 5 I just didn't like.  I remember watching it in middle school thinking it was a bit dull.  Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull I stopped after the fridge incident.

The fridge thing for me was no better or worse than jumping out of an aeroplane with a rubber raft, club singer and small child, falling a few hundred feet and surviving...  :teddyr:

Thank you!  Everytime someone brings up the fridge scene, I feel I need to shout at them that the rubber raft was just as crazy and implausable as that scene.  Again, thank you man!

I'm apparently in the minority who feels all 3 Back to The Future films are entirely perfect, but that's just me.
