Choices could change in the morning but here goes

5 pts     Goodfellas
4 pts      Platoon
3 pts      Raiders of the Lost Ark
4 pts      The Great Escape
1 pt        Hoosiers/ Best Shot


Based decision on whether I have seen each film at least five times and would watch again if I came upon them while channel hopping. Ferris Bueller's Day Off/ Blues Brothers both edged out fwiiw.

It's Christmas AZ and you are making us all suffer. Maybe next time you could add a genre.
