I´ve always wondered about the pyramid alien conspiracies. Definitely fascinating sh1t. I think that new Ridley Scott yarn coming out has some subject-matter relevance to this.

Space Jam. Good call. War of the Worlds deserved to go on the list, too. But it was a toss up between them and Independence Day, since they both had the same weakness, more or less.

Well done piece.

Thanks for the comments. Some of you have mentioned Passion of the Christ. Definitely forgot about that one, but it qualifies. Ditto Straw Dogs and pretty much any other movie where the beloved pet dies at the end. I do take issue with anyone who says that any of the films on this list aren't "great." I think in one way or another all of them are difficult to resist the first time around.
