Empire is definitely in my top 3, or even my absolute favourite. Star Wars is great too but is a lot lower in my list, probably because I think Empire is better in almost every way (sets, acting, story, characters, SFX, music, overall impact) and I think there are a lot of movies better (or more enjoyable) than Star Wars imho.
Here's my list, in no particular order:
- The Empire Strikes Back;
- Star Wars;
- Back to the Future (The first one);
- Raiders of the lost Ark;
- The Fellowship of the Ring (EE);
- The Big Lebowski;
- Kick-ass (Yep...I keep coming back to that movie. Consider it a guilty pleasure, if you want to.).
But to be honest, i haven't seen that many movies in my life like most people in this thread, although I keep telling myself to see more (especially the 'classics').
