    Top Gun - Coolest movie of its decade, also DANGER ZOOOOONE.

    No self respecting person should be voting for imperialist propaganda that is Zulu :D

    Maybe consider first two past the post going into a KO between themselves as knocking out 4 good movies in one foul swoop seems OTT

    Top Gun - for the one-liners alone. It's pun-tastic

    Aliens! It's the best war movie ever (my reasons are in my nom and too numerous to count)
    Empire is supporting terrorists.

    95% of war movies are imperialist or self serving propaganda depending on who won, who wrote the script etc.

    Aliens- Fantastic movie that I go back to over and over again.

    "They only come out at night....mostly"

    Great cast and seeing paul reiser get his comeuppance was brilliant.

    Ain't that the truth. It had such a profound effect on me at an early age, I can never look at a casually dressed-down sweaty woman with a strong jawline without it affecting my special purpose. Makes trips to aldi awkward.

    Well,

    Empire Strikes Back involves an actual war.

    That gets my vote!


    I support the Galactic Empire!
    For strength and security!!

    Fcuk Putin. Glory to Ukraine!

    Watched all Star Wars movies to date, and never fully in love with them.

    Giving this to Aliens. Ripley is so good, and Michael Biehn was my first action hero.

    I don't like doing this but....

    Empire Strikes back

    Opening battle with At Ats on Hoth is more traditionally war like than Aliens

    Aliens is more survival/horror/Action

    No contest... with the iconic line "I am your Father", it has to be Empire Strikes Back. Redefines the concept of a "twist" in a movie.
