I don't think many people would disagree with Hitchcock getting yet another one of his films on here, in the form of Strangers On A Train, or the idea of putting in the cinema's greatest onscreen/offscreen feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford there as well (Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?).
Wall-E was one I don't know anyone saw coming, because it only came out in 2008. But then again, how many films, animated or otherwise, would dare to make a savior of humanity out of a wan-looking trash-compacting robot? That by itself makes it a stand-out film. And besides that, it contains interesting (though not always easy to spot) homages to previous films like 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Return Of The Jedi: Yes, that probably should be there, at least since it was the final film of the original Star Wars franchise. People may find this hard to believe, but Jedi was actually the very last film in that franchise that I saw. I haven't seen any of the others that have come and gone since, because I think I have kind of outgrown them.

"Baby Jane" is really creepy. I'd like to have been a fly on the wall on that set. eddiejinnj

Quote by eddiejinnj:
It was fairly tense on the set; and of course the finished film was arguably a wildly over-the-top combination of horror and black comedy in the hands of director Robert Aldrich. As a sidenote, Joan Crawford's last real notable performance afterwards was for a segment of the 1969 Rod Serling TV pilot film Night Gallery, a segment directed by a 22 year-old kid from Phoenix, Arizona named Steven Spielberg (YIPE!!!).
