No. Technically its 19 movies.

But the overall impact of the HP and LOTR movies deserved mention IMO. I was a big fan of both series as well. Although none of the individual movies would've made my top 10, the overall stories of both series would.

There are 8 Harry Potter movies??? I thought there were only 5. My bad; guess I should start paying attention to children's literature before commenting.

Not a fan of "24" then? She had been Jack Bauer's trouble prone daughter for a couple of years by then, but Girl Next Door showed her in a whole new light. Those five little words in the motel scene are better than lots of porn out there.
