1.- Debbie Does Dallas
2.- Deep Throat
3.- Shaving Ryzn's Privates
4.- Flesh Gordon
5.- Anything with naked chicks in it
You get the idea
Actually, I would have to say The Holy Trilogy (SW) is comfortably in spot 1, closely followed by anything with Al Pacino in it, all kinds of popcorn flicks. An honorable mention has to be made for "El Crimen Del Padre Amaro" (The Crime Of Father Amaro) Kick-ass Mexican flick about a young priest screwing the brains out of an impossibly good looking chick in a small town in Mexico (Most definitely NOT porn... it is a very well thought, masterfully directed story)

You know, it's funny. One person put "From Dusk 'Till Dawn" on their favorites list. That movie probably tops my "worst of" movies list.
What about "Wrath of Kahn?"

Personally I love ''From Dusk Till Dawn'' and ''Wrath of Kahn'' is my fave ST movie because it's the first one I saw with my dad when I was about 8.
