People complain it isn't like the comic, and it isn't. But I don't think it's supposed to be, the comic was also written in the 80s and the film in the 2000s, the current issues have changed. It's got a fine cast.

3. Ghostbusters
4. Aliens
5. 7 Samurai

Honourable mentions to the following:
Strange Days, Trading Places, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, The Princess Bride, Dark Crystal, Hellraiser, Zulu, The Big Country, Grand Torino, Conan the Barbarian, Apocalypse Now, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars (not the prequels obviously), The 3 Musketeers (the one with Charlton Heston brilliant as Cardinal R),

I would say that the V for Vendetta film is better than the graphic novel.
