[cobainwasmurdered]

terrible list as expected, I can't even bother getting annoyed since that's what they want.

 

[Valeyard]

Wait where is The Hot Chick?

 

[Brocklock]

Yeah I'm going to try not to get angry....

Wait a minute, STARSHIP TROOPERS AND EDGE OF TOMORROW HIGHER THAN TERMINATOR 2 WTF IS THIS HORSESHIT!!!!!

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Wall-E, which I fucking adore like a motherfucker, is way too high at 29. Nope also feels too high in terms of recency bias.

Tron, Men in Black, and Jurassic Park feel pretty low but I can understand the latter's ranking as it's probably not what one thinks of when they think "Science Fiction".

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

That bottom 10 is better than 80% of the entire list lol
