*Kinda cheating. John Ford's cavalry trilogy

I'm voting this isn't cheating. It's just impossible to pick one of those.

Fort Apache? Hank Fonda as the heavy. 20-year old Shirley Temple and near prime Anna Lee (at that time, Mrs. Robert Stevenson.)

Rio Grande? There was a lot of cast overlap with Yellow Ribbon, but Rio Grande had Maureen O'Hara, Chill Wills and the Sons of the Pioneers.

I think Rio Grande also featured Big Ben Johnson doing his famous horse skiing bit. Johnson got feature roles in both Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande after heroism on the set of Fort Apache. Hank Fonda's riding double, he stopped a runaway wagon, likely saving 3 dudes from serious injury or death.

John Ford would see the big kid he "discovered" as a stunt double and elevated to actor go on to win Best Actor for The Last Picture Show.

i'll go in order so I can plan my evening:

1. Predator (there is a 2nd and vs. alien now)
2. Toy Story
3. Empire
4. Fast 5 (the one in Brazil)
5. Nightmare on Elm Street
6. Major League
7. The Dark Knight

Mix of action/comedy/horror to get me through a night

Aliens
Winter Soldier
Rambo
T2
Jaws
Incredibles
Raiders

The Dark Knight
Man of Steel
Terminator 2
Predator
Aliens
Jurassic Park
Empire Strikes Back
