I'm not going to quibble over a moving them up or down a space or two. Temple
of Doom was the weakest of the Indiana Jones movies and should switch places
with Lost Crusade. Is that the Boris Karloff Mummy or the current version?
I'd move The Phantom down to the bottom of the list near The Shadow. Mystery
Island or Mysterious Island? If the latter, I'd move it up 10-12 spaces.

The Great Train Robbery - Sean Connery and Lesly Ann whatever from Sphinx, from
Michael Crichton's book.

Get out the gas masks! Air out the house afterward! These stinkers are
lethal. Sanitize your tape player - God forbid they are DVDs or Laserdisks.
See it with friends, have lots of beer, and soft objects that they can throw at
the TV and make rude comments.
