    I think most superhero films want to be "epic." Only Reeve's Superman is, to me. I'm not a great Superman fan, but that film is still magical and engaging.

        POTA, good call--it fits Mikey's criteria for me.

          Star Trek: The Motion Picture

          The Mummy (1999)

          The Empire Strikes Back

          Batman (1989)

          Clash of the Titans (1981)

          Robocop (1987)

          Dragonslayer

          Alien

          Bram Stoker's Dracula
          Love your list.

          You know, many Trekkies dislike STTMP...but I friggin love it. It has that 2001 Space Odyssey vibe to it. Also depicts life in a spaceship more realistically than any other Trek movie...slow, daunting, lonely, quiet, no frills, no battles...that’s how it would be if our astronauts were to go to Mars. It’s also epic and lovely look at. Love that movie. I should’ve listed it.

            In reading everyone's choices, there is not one movie here I would argue against. Might not make MY (short) list, but these are all some good choices for what one needs to own in their Blu-ray or DVD collection.

                The the top 5 ones I watch without break:

                Superman
                Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
                Predator
                Die Hard

                and going off the expected board with The Bishop's Wife

                There are others, but I'll stick to the rules with the Top 5.

                      Yes!
                      If each film counts as one, those are 3 on my list.

                      Also:
                      -The Shawshank Redemption
                      -Back to the Future
