Das Boot - WW2 naval warfare: for the version, I'll keep it simple and stick with the theatrical release that I saw in U.S. theaters.
The Hunt for Red October - techno-thriller.
Man on Fire - directed by Tony Scott - revenge movie.
E.T. - Sci-Fi-Fantasy
Aliens - SciFi Horror - a tough call because Alien (original) will never be exceeded on a purely artistic level, but Aliens should get points for pure entertainment that should not be discounted (Bill Paxton's character).
