E.T. the Extra-TerrestrialI've seen the ones in bold print and enjoyed them all except for E.T. and Back to the Future, which I never cared for. Of the ones I haven't seen, I've never heard of The Secret of Roan Inish or Strange Days. I'm disappointed not to see Stalker, The 5th Element, and Tron on this list.
