1) The Rocky/Creed Series (1976-2018) - Ranging from emotionally inspiring to completely insane, the Rocky series never failed to excite me and get me pumped up, and the Creed films have been more than worthy successors. The original is my favorite, but I love most of them for various reason. 2 is arguably the greatest sequel of all time, 3 and 4 are off the wall crazy fun, 6 is a great return and farewell to Rocky's career as a boxer, and like I said, the Creed films took the torch and delivered great movies too. The lone black sheep of the series is V.

2) Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983) - Just IV, V, and VI. The prequels and sequels were gigantic mistakes all around. Can't touch the originals in my eyes. The imagination, wonder, excitement, and drama are just all encompassing awesome sauce.

3) Die Hard (1988) - Greatest action movie ever made and also one of my favorite Christmas movies.

4) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) - Probably the greatest summer blockbuster of all time, Terminator advanced the story and characters of the original in great ways, and ended in such a fantastic way, I wish they had never made anymore sequels. I actually choose to ignore that any film after T2 ever happened.

5) The Godzilla Franchise (1954-2020) - I mean...do I need to explain this one? I'm on this site, lol.

6) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) - The best of the Indy films, having all the great elements of Raiders but with a father/son story that serves as both the emotional core and the source of great comedy.

7) Back to the Future (1985) - Its a teenage rom com with science fiction and action/adventure thrown in. What's not to love? This movie also made me appreciate the little details and rules of a story, which all served to make the film's climax super exciting.

8) Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Indy's first on screen adventure is an all time classic. Plain and simple.

9) Ghostbusters (1984) - I like the 80s. Sue me.I love horror and I love comedy, and Ghostbusters gives me a great supernatural tale with spooky moments and is drenched with a dry sarcasm that I just love.

10) The Universal Monster Movies (1925-1956) - I started with the silent movie version of Phantom of the Opera and ended with the third Creature From the Black Lagoon film, The Creature Walks Among Us. That's a pretty good all encompassing period for these legendary characters. They are the forefathers of horror and I revisit these films every October. I love the sets, the atmosphere, and these are movies that absolutely benefit from being in black and white. Lugosi, Karloff, Chaney, Chaney Jr, Rains, Lancaster, and all the rest are like royalty to me.

Made this a few months ago, the list could go on and on but I'm pretty satisfied with it. I'd say only the first five are in any real specific order.

1. Godzilla (1954) – You all know it. You all love it.
2. Jurassic Park – The only other movie/franchise that can stand a chance against my love for Godzilla.
3. The Terminator – The original, not T2. Love its dark atmosphere, its story, its eerie techno-music, its perfectly constructed time travel plot. James Cameron's finest movie, IMO. It's a fucking creepy one too. It's a better slasher film than practically any actual slasher film, and its visions of humanity's bleak future is so horrific that it has people talking about "Skynet's uprising" to this very day. I don't know what people are smoking when they say this isn't a horror movie, because not only is it absolutely a horror film – it's my favorite horror film (Unless you count Godzilla, which is arguably a horror film too. Blah. Genres are fickle things).
4. The Lion King – This was THE Disney movie I watched as a kid. It still holds a special place in my heart.
5. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy – Yeah, I cheated and put a trilogy in my top ten. This is still the benchmark that all other fantasy films aspire to be. Unpopular opinion, but I think the movies are superior to the books as well.
6. Jaws – Another movie that is superior to the book. This is a not-so unpopular opinion. The book is terrible, lol. It's quite a feat that Speilberg got such a great film out of it.
7. Princess Mononoke – My favorite Studio Ghibli film. My favorite anime too. I got the pleasure of seeing this in theaters last November. Combines my love for great 2D animation with my love for epic fantasy!
8. Mad Max: Fury Road – A flawlessly constructed action film. Great characters, fantastic visual storytelling, refreshingly progressive, practical effects galore. I can't believe I missed this gem in theaters!
9. The Matrix – This was my first ever R-rated movie, so there's a lasting impact right there. It has a really fantastic and creative science fiction story, and one of my favorite villains in fiction: Agent Smith.
10. The Gamera Trilogy – Yeah, I cheated and put in another trilogy. Sue me. These films, to me, represent the modern day benchmark for kaiju films.

*The Birds (1963)
*The Stepford Wives (1975) (I will not watch either the three made-for-TV sequels (the first one was absolutely terrible and, as a result, I don't even want to know about the other two) or that black comedy abomination)
*Tie: The Hellstrom Chronicle (1971) and Phase IV (1974)
*The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974)
*Tie: The Muppet Movie (1979) and Muppets from Space (1999)
*The Chipmunk Adventure (1987)
*Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
*Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971)
*Tie: West Side Story (1961) and Romeo and Juliet (1968)
*The Gill-Man trilogy (Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)/Revenge of the Creature (1955)/The Creature Walks Among Us (1956))
*The first four Universal Mummy films featuring Imhotep and Kharis (The Mummy (1932)/The Mummy's Hand (1940)/The Mummy's Tomb (1942)/The Mummy's Ghost (1944) (I don't count The Mummy's Curse (1944) as part of the Kharis saga because the continuity from the first three films was scrapped after this film. I'll only watch it because it's in the complete series set I've got, but IMO, Kharis's story ended for good with The Mummy's Ghost, because he and Ananka were finally reunited in death in the end (even if Ananka was only a 20th century reincarnation of herself))
*The entire Tremors saga
*The Godzilla films (hey, admit it, you knew I was going to mention them, didn't you?)
*The Gamera films (them, too)
*Tie: the first two Universal Frankenstein films (Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935)) and the first two Hammer Frankenstein films (The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)), the only films in each series to have any real sense of continuity

Made an attempt at an earnest top twenty favorites. A list of movies that I really love and if one were to hold a gun to my head and choose twenty and only that are the immediate choices that come to mind. Mostly tried to limit it to one director. Mostly. The exception(s) are fairly obvious.
