I like how tight this is.

I've picked by voting. The movies I've chosen to vote for are: "Star Wars: Episode V - the Empire Strikes Back", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial", which was one I was thinking of against "the Godfather", "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi", which was the other one I was thinking of against "the Sting", "Beverly Hills Cop", "Jaws", "Rocky", "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope", "Rain Man", and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". I've liked "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi" a little bit more, than "Star Wars: Episode V - the Empire Strikes Back", and with three Star Wars' movies on the list, I felt I had to vote for all three of them. In "Jaws", and "Back to the Future", having two movies associated with, and from Steven Spielberg against each other was the other not easy choice to vote. Edited by Derek19

Four went with Towering Inferno over Beverly Hills Cop... The only thing I could remember about that film was that Fred astaire was in it. I had totally forgotten about Faye Dunaway and these two guys...

I believe he went on to become a well known trader in sports memorabilia.

I should make time to revisit Towering Inferno and Earthquake...no CGI just real men, real women and expensive models.

I loved all those disaster movies, Inferno, Earthquake, Airport, Poseidon. I even loved the parody film the Big Bus.

I am not familiar with The Big Bus (although I do know Weird Al's "Another One Rides the Bus"), but surely the parody of parodies is "Airplane!" I'm smiling right now just typing the title . . .
