I like this list. "War of the Worlds" maybe a little higher, but cool nonetheless...

I think the Mad Max 2 title here is actually "The Road Warrior".

I love those old Planet of the Apes movies. I never did see the remake.

Love the Mad Max movies. I'm so into Mad Max that I belong to a Mad Max message forum haha. Mind you I haven't posted there in awhile but we had a 200 page thread about Wez and Iron Bar Bassey going haha. It was about who was the meaner villian. Man, you should have saw some of the intense posts on this subject LOL. But it was a fun debate.

I should head over there and see if that thread died yet or not.

Edit: Just got back and that thread is still going strong. I also scoped out a Mighty Wez proboard forum that I joined. Coolies
