No. 25 — No. 18     |     No. 17 — No. 11    |    No. 10 — No. 1


mostSeenMovies_ET_s.jpg17. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Reader percentage: 84.9%
Steven Spielberg's lachrymose vision of human-alien relations made more children cry than bath time. If you're a product of the '80s, this is the movie that made you believe...in the power of product placement.

 

 


mostSeenMovies_DieHard_s.jpg16. Die Hard (1988)
Reader percentage: 85.2%
Not only did it vault Bruce Willis from prime-time romantic comedian to summer box office leviathan, Big Building Fight, as it's known in Thailand, became the blueprint after which all future action movies would be patterned. Except for Die Hard 2. That was more like Weekend at Bernie's.

 

 


mostSeenMovies_Terminator2_s.jpg15. Terminator 2 (1991)
Reader percentage: 85.4%
This touching story about a young boy and his robot friend was the world's first $100-million production, and proved that a movie sequel could not only match the original, but blow huge gaping holes in its face. (So get excited, fans aching to see Titanic 2!)

 

 


mostSeenMovies_HappyGilmore_s.jpg14. Happy Gilmore (1996)
Reader percentage: 85.5%
There's little funnier than watching a man uncontrollably pissed off for an hour and a half, and Adam Sandler's hockey-misfit-turned-golf-prodigy revolutionized conniption comedy. This is arguably Sandler's funniest movie, providing rinse-and-repeat instructions for not only his, but also Will Ferrell's entire career.

 

 


mostSeenMovies_StarWars_s.jpg13. Star Wars (1977)
Reader percentage: 85.6%
This was the movie that launched a thousand nerdgasms. The Force was with Star Wars penner George Lucas as he introduced Luke Skywalker and the gang to the masses. In making the movie, Lucas also became a pioneer of film technology, a position previously held by the guy who made the gel that kept John Travolta's hair together in Saturday Night Fever.

 

 


mostSeenMovies_Dumb&Dumber_s.jpg12. Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Reader percentage: 85.7%
Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? It's the sound of the d-bag who keeps asking you if you wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world, and it's all due to the stars of this classic comedy. Now excuse us while we test our Earl Grey tea for laxatives.

 

 


mostSeenMovies_StarWarsTheEmpireStrikesBack_s.jpg11. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Reader percentage: 85.9%
It takes a lot to trump an immortal classic. But damn if this funnier, smarter, darker sequel, featuring an AT-AT battle, Han Solo in carbonite, and Yoda, doesn’t pull it off.
