Quite possibly.  But my fave is 3, or, Army of Darkness, when the franchise finally realized that Bruce Campbell is hilarious and quit trying to be a real horror series.

For sure, I like that about it as well.

But the original is just so stereotypically campy, it so perfectly captures the quintessential cheeseball 70s/80s low-budget horror film that is NOT trying to be a spoof, that it's always going to be my favorite.

I fall right in the middle. I feel like Army of Darkness abandoned the genre too much, but it was a good time.

Good? Bad? I'm the guy with the gun.

The MI movies are entertaining, but I was over it in the first one, when he removes the realistic mask.  Once you have that, you can just do/be whatever you want.  
That's why I don't like too much magic in a movie - you can just do anything.  Limits are a good thing.  A confined universe where there are rules and limits makes it better.

In the MI series, anyone can actually be anyone else, and while that might appeal to some people, I just see it as a giant stack of get-out-of-jail-free cards.  It's not fun anymore.

I could forgive #4 on the basis of nostalgia, or some other silliness, but #2 and #6 make a mockery of your opinions on the subject. #2 in particular, but #6 is still wildly high, even if there's a big gap between your #5 and #6, and even if #6 is a lot closer to #11 than #3.

Are you entitled to your opinions? Sure. Will they force me to question why I come here at all (like that stupid politics thread did)? No. Do I still respect you as a poster? Absolutely. But your Star Wars opinions are a farce.

IMO everything below #6 is sort of unrewatchable.  Solo is the worst of the "good" movies, or the best of the "bad" movies.  I'm on board with any order of the top 5 and the bottom 5, but Solo at #6 seems like the easy pick.  It's the one movie that I find entirely fine.
