#4452 PointsBill and Ted's Excellent AdventureReleased February 17, 1989William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. (Winter) and Ted "Theodore" Logan (Reeves) (or simply "Bill & Ted") are two hard rock-obsessed teenagers in San Dimas, California (1988) who are in danger of flunking out of high school. This situation is particularly "heinous" because Ted's authoritarian father has threatened to ship him to the Alaskan Military Academy (run by the psychotic Colonel Oats) if he flunks. Miraculously, a guitar-playing guru named Rufus (Carlin) arrives from San Dimas of the future (2688) to help them pass a vital history report, because their garage band Wyld Stallyns holds the key to world peace and ultimate truth. However, they will not achieve this destiny if they flunk out and Ted is shipped to Alaska. Rufus lends them a time machine disguised as a phone booth to help them get an A+ on their oral report. Various time traveling shenanigans ensue, as they proceed to "collect" various historical figures, including Napoleon Bonaparte, Socrates, Billy the Kid, Sigmund Freud, Beethoven, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln to help them with their final history presentation.

#4353 PointsPee Wee's Big AdventureReleased July 26, 1985Pee-wee Herman, a strange man who acts very much like a child, loves his bike more than anything else in the world.

He browses a magic shop to pick up some "supplies," then picks up a bike horn from his friend Dottie and resists her attempts to date him. When he finishes shopping, he discovers that his bike has been stolen despite his significant precautions. Hilarious results occur as he attempts to track down his beloved bike.

I forgot This Is Spinal Tap!
Jeez...I did a bad job with my list.
And so far, Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only one that's made the top 50 that was on my list.

ok. so you said a 5 way tie for 49, but I only saw 4 movies posted, unless I'm blind. Am I blind?
And when you get all 50-ish movies posted, can you just put out a list without all the pics and stuff?

#4054 Points (3 Way Tie)Forrest GumpReleased July 6, 1994The film tells the story of a simple man and his epic journey through life, meeting historical figures, influencing popular culture and experiencing first-hand historic events while largely unaware of their significance, due to his lower than average intelligence. The film was a huge commercial success, earning USD$677 million worldwide during its theatrical run (the top grossing film in North America released that year). The film garnered a total of 13 Academy Award nominations, of which it won six, including Best Picture, Best Visual Effects, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis), and Best Actor (Tom Hanks).

#4054 Points (3 Way Tie)This is Spinal TapReleased March 2, 1984The film is a mock rockumentary that satirizes the wild personal behavior and musical pretensions of bands such as Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Queen, Dio, Aerosmith, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Judas Priest, Sweet, Pink Floyd and The Beatles, among many others. Much of the film was ad libbed, and several dozen hours of footage were shot before Reiner edited it down to the released film. A 4½ hour bootleg version of the film exists and has been traded among fans and collectors for years.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Pan's Labyrinth Raiders of the Lost Ark Silence of the Lambs Transformers:The Movie Yeah, I'd say that was five, Mr Wonder. I honestly kept recounting them myself before I posted them, so I can understand your confusion. And yeah, when I get to the Top 10, I'm going to list the rest under the first post of the thread. That way, it will be a quick reference. I knew it would end up being my mistake. thanks and thanks
