You can only pick three...
Alien is one that I’ll stop and watch or record while surfing.
Doc, you’ll appreciate this because it’s your current neck of the woods. When Alien came out I was living in Jensen Beach and several
of us went and saw Alien at the Stuart movie theater.
There’s a lot more to the story than I probably need to go in to, but keep in mind it was my college days, and it was S FL in the late 70’s early 80’s.... and there were a lot of cattle farms in the area.

Anybody else notice Scarface wasn’t on the list either.
I was living in S FL during the Mariel boat lift in 1980, and actually seeing the impact the lift had on the region was eye opening. When the movie came out and intertwined the story line with the Cuban immigration it hit really close to home. South FL was the wild, wild west in those days and IIRC Miami surpassed NYC as the most dangerous city in the country.

Re: You can only pick three...
Aliens came in fourth for me, tied with LW.
If it had been on the list, Vacation is my clear number one.
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

Re: You can only pick three...
Looks like we could do our own with a top 3 just from the movies they left off the list. or do our own list, b/c a lot of the films on their list probably need to be dropped for those on our list.
