The Top Ten
1 Aliens

This was the best Alien, Ripleys battle with the Queen was legendary, she was a badass in this movie. Not a sissy head like the first one. She got nominated for an Academy Award. Fast paced action with Marines, the first one, childish scientists with no weapons except a cheap axe and a baby flamethrower.

A classic this movie lives on as...

When u look back on the history of these movies, producers made so much money with the Aliens and Predator movies

Aliens was awesome! Now you people are thinking clearly. Aliens should be #1 and Top Gun should be #2.

Game over man.

2 Platoon

Maybe the best Vietnam war movie beside Full Metal Jacket

Matrix guy is right, he is also right about reservoir dogs

Charlie sheens best movie by far, although tom berenger did the best

Get this movie higher!

3 Ferris Bueller's Day Off

How is this classic not top 5? Looks like many forgot about this one.

One of the best movies ever.

The best film ever

4 Top Gun

The movie that taked the breath away for everybody

This movie is terrible.

Movie of the Summer.

5 Stand By Me

This and Ferris Bueller's day off are two of my favorite movies. Stand By Me is an amazing movie with a superb performance by River Phoenix. It captures the essence of childhood and has an amazing storyline.
Chris: Ya sure. Give me some skin.
Gordie: I'll see ya.
Chris: Not if I see you first.
Best movie ever!
