ET and Jaws at the top are good choices.

Don't know about Schindler's List because I started making out with my GF during the previews and missed the entire movie.

You can tell this list is shite because they are making up movies that don’t exist.

Temple of Doom is underrated as a standalone work. It doesn't get nearly as Indiana Jones-y with the history/christian relics aspect but it really does flow quite well in a way the others don't always.

1. Schindler's List
2. Minority Report
3. Jaws
4. Jurassic Park
5. Raiders

I really like Temple of Doom but I might be biased because it was the first Indiana Jones movie I can remember watching.

Raiders, Jaws, and ET are my top three. Probably in that order. But I haven’t seen some of these. Not to have Raiders in the top five is absurd.

Trash list outside of the top 2.

JP2:LW gets too much hate. It's not near as good as the first one obviously, and there is some stupid in it. But it is still pretty damn good. But the simple fact that it ranks dead last is laughably stupid.

As per your comments, SPR, JP, and Raiders all being out of the top 10 (or even 20 for SPR) is laughably stupid as well.

For those reasons (among others), I do believe this list was created more to generate attention and clicks rather than be a legitimate list though.

That list is awful - has to be clickbait.

Without putting much thought into it, here is how I would rank them:

10. Munich
9. War of the Worlds
8. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
7. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
6. Saving Private Ryan
5. Jurassic Park
4. E.T.
3. Schindler's List
2. Jaws
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark

I won't bother to rank the rest other than to say:

Underrated: Empire of the Sun, AI, War Horse
Overrated: The Color Purple, Hook, The Post

That's based on public opinion, not the retarded list.

Bridge of Spies was good, but ahead of Saving Private Ryan and Jurassic Park?

Had to have had some blue balls after that, that's like a 3.5 hour make out session.
