If I were to pick a movie that surpassed the greatness of Empire it'd be the theatrical cut of The Fellowship of the Ring.
I go by categories. Empire for Sci-Fi and Raiders for Adventure. That way they don't touch my Romero movies.
ANH #1 due to it being the first and for me i had never seen anything like that or even close to it at the time.
ESB#2........awesome from start to finish & so close to #1 but since it was #2 well.......it's #2.....
man i'm starting to jones for those harmy disks now................
i have a feeling that the new version will make the world a better place & my beer taste even better...........
Agreed. Though you forgot to add, ". . .by people who have never seen Citizen Kane, the Godfather, or the Maltese Falcon."

My list of top 3 has always been JAWS, Empire, and Star Wars
It might look more like JAWS, Star Wars, and Empire now.
I also have FOTR (either cuts) in my top 10.
The only other film not been mentioned yet that I talk about in the same breath as these films is
DIE HARD
Perhaps not as perfectly made as the the other films but it's damn close. It is a perfect action film IMO. A corny ending sort of ruins it's perfection.
I love Dawn. It's in my top 5 horror films.
Night is a classic that i still enjoy but nowhere near as much as Dawn.
Day has Bub and some great Savini work and thats about it for me.
I HATE all the other Romero Dead flicks.
But Dawn NEVER gets old!
I feel kind of silly for saying it... but its kind of true. I feel a lot better about my SW fandom now that I can just watch the movies in a near-original state in HD.

one disk at a time brother...............one disk at a time............

Die Hard is great but would be in my second tier with other similar movies like Aliens, Terminator, Back to the Future, etc. Great movies but not at the same level.

I let my sci-fi and adventure touch my horror.
Hey Khev,
Fellowship (theatrical cut) is at the top of my list too. Theatrical cut has better use of Howard Shore's score (Shire opening score for sure is better with theatrical) and a much better flow overall IMO. Top 10 for sure. One of the few modern movies that is a classic.
I actually prefer Savini's remake to Romero's NotLD.
