In the USA, it was sorcerors, almost everywhere else it was philosophers, IIRC.
All of those films make sense in their places, except Spiderman. Was it really that big?

Notice that Star Wars Episode Two isn't up there... I wonder why? [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
After TPM and Jar Jar Binks, Star Wars died.
