Sometimes.. a man's gotta do.. what a man's gotta do. ;)

It stays 20.. I was going to either make it top 10 or top 100... couldn't be bothered counting all the ones needed for top 100, and decided top 10 was too few.

Re: The Official TGW top 20 movies of all time!

1) Gladiator
2) Tears of the Sun
3) Band of Brothers (In a sense, it really is a film)
4) Star Wars (These should all count as one film)
5) Lord of the Rings (As above)
6) Body of Lies
7) Eagle Eye
8 ) Transformers 1 & 2
9) Blood Diamond
10) Assembly
11) The Dark Knight
12) What Happens in Vegas
13) Kingdom of Heaven
14) The Bourne Trilogy
15) Jurassic Park (All Movies)
16) The Rocket - Maurice Richard
17) The Dark Knight
18) X-Men (All Movies)
19) BraveHeart
20) I Am Legend

These will most likely not be in the correct order, since I am just thinking of epic movies. I think we all know the difference in these though. ;)

Sorry Noobert.. top 20 FILMS, not top 20 sagas/trilogies/series. LOTR, SW, Jurassic Park, X-men, Transformers etc.. you have to choose one of their films or they won't count... of course you can choose more than one, but they will take up a spot of the 20.
