5. The Road Warrior
6. The Empire Strikes Back
7. Jaws

Interesting to see several films popping up consistently, like The Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, Alien, Aliens, and Apocalypse Now.

Evil Dead 2 must be the one most likely to crop up.

I went for Evil Dead 1 over 2 on my list. Also really need to see Jaws to find out if it will fit into my list (never seen it all the way through!). The forum rule I did my top 100 in was no more than 2 films per director - think maybe mine should have more Lynch and Cronenberg really . . .
