  I like your list and would have to give this some thought before settling on ten. I haven't seen THX1138 or The Dark Knight by the way. Its possible I might replace your #'s 4, 6, 7, 8(after seeing 6&8), and 9 with something else.
  
  Off the top of my head, which isn't a good way to do this, I have four that come to mind. Understand I'm looking at this by personal favorites. The Abyss, Close Encounters, Star Wars, and Starman. Perhaps it was Jeff Bridges superb performance and the humor that makes me like Starman so much.
  
  2001 A Space Odyssey is a well done film and usually ranks high, but I found it slow and a bit boring. Your top three are fine with me.
  
  Pitch Black was good, but doubt it would make top ten, maybe top twenty.
  
  I don't know whether to include Batman movies.

  You have to realize that the Yahoo list is according to Yahoo users.
  That means generally the same people that are stupid enough to fall for
  Borax and the Democrat party. The same kind of people that think free
  enterprise (big oil companies) is the problem instead of lame Democrats
  in congress that outlaw the use of our own resources in lieu of high-priced
  foreign products.

  bah, serenity definitely deserves to be in the top 10, at the very least. i would argue that comic book adaptations don't really belong in this category myself, though. although how you can possibly have star trek IV but not II on your list, i will confess i cannot possibly understand.

  I tried not to pick more than one film out of a series (with the exception of batman, because both of those films are just awesome) and liked the save the whales movie better than the death of spock. but you do have a point - khan deserves to be up there.
   
  yeah - comic films were a qualm of mine, too, but it is arguable that given all the technology batman uses there are some links to sci fi.

  that's fair: i mean, i like star trek IV too, but c'mon, it's wrath of khan, man. :>
  
  that's a fair point re: comic book films. :>

  Ed- How in the name of blazes and bonfires could I forget Serenity? - Oh, I know, its due to the 'off the top of my head' thing. I should never indulge in that.
