I come across many lists in my daily scrounging of the internet for useless info. I feel I must share this crap with you.

Top 10 War Movies

I haven't seen many of these (although i will soon :D ), but I think Jarhead is better than 3 Kings.

How can you have a war movie list without Saving Private Ryan?

Don't even look at the horror movie list, I am a fan of the old horror classics but having 3 Vamp movies in the top ten and not including the original Night of the Living Dead on the list is a little much. I give the list an extra 1/2 star for adding the original "Let The Right One In" (the remake blew), that is a solid movie but nowhere close to the top ten of all-time.

Full Metal Jacket and Platoon are pretty good, but I'll need to spend some quality time reviewing these other movies.

Oh man! The Usual Suspects is easily in my top 5 of any genre.

Their Sci-Fi list is OK, but Matrix doesn't make my top 10. How 'bout THX 1138 or Brazil or Logan's Run?
This list (http://www.popularmechanics.com/technol ... e#slide-35" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) has Repo Man (another of my top 5) at 66, though is more comedy than SF IMO

0 out of 10 but I didn't take the test, I could have randomly guessed and would have got 2.5 out of 10.....statistically speaking. I did get the Enterprise before I read the caption in the photo.....so that is something I suppose.

Can't believe Detroit's number 1 on that list... Wonky criteria, whatever ones were used in compiling it.
