*Note: Trilogies are sometimes counted as one story unless otherwise specified by an exceptional sequel (Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers) or an exceptional entry movie (the Matrix).
*Note #2: sometimes movies are offset by good reviews or box office by a certain bad-ass-factor(BAF) this ratio is equated by subtracting the suckiness (x) multiplied by the amount of girls or people who think the movie is cute (Y)
The formula is as follows (X*Y=Z) if z is less than or equal to the ammount of bullets fired, alien lifeforms, explosions, seconds of car chasing or people killed in the movie, it is officially bad ass.
For movies in 1980-1993:
Close Encounters
of the Third Kind,

After grouping these movies into brackets and selecting the best, i ended up with 3 selections.
-Indiana Jones
-Star Wars: Original Trilogy
-Aliens
