First again?
Cool!
LotR and PotC are great too 
It's weird that GoF is better than OotP and CoS better than PoA.
Kindoff weird, because I really liked PoA! And I think the first 3 films are best. Most like the books..

Congrats HP and WB!  GoF came before OotP? Wow. I didn't really think that GoF would do better than OotP, seeming as it is a year or so older than OotP.

WTH? Fellowship of the Ring didnt make the list? and the first Spiderman movie? but those are the films that triggered its sequels to be made. Sex and the City and Indy Jones may be doing well now, but i dont think they've sold more tickets that FOTR or Spidey1. i think they're just basing it on gross receipts.  | |

i would expect that about the HP movies. excellent as usual. I also expected that all three lord of the rings movies would have made it as well.

i'm starting to think that list is nothing more than a popularity contest. some of the films listed makes me go wtf?  | |

Wow. GoF at the top of the series? Hm, I would have though SS or OotP. Oh well. ;] That's cool that they're all on this list! Really awesome. I wish one of the movies got first though! :[

Yay for HP making the list with every film, but... The list sucks. Maybe it should be renamed to "The most popular but not necessarily good films of the last couple of years".

That is awsome. Although I think once the DH movies come out, there will be a new #1 on that list.

Considering the amount of fans the series has, I'm surprised they didn't make it 1 to 5!
