Unless "Aliens vs. Predator: Survival of the Fttest" is a film about the evolution spanning generations of how the two races adapted to their environment through the passing down of dominant traits, that's a misleading title that will only reinforce misconceptions of Darwin's theory to the masses.

1. 9.1 The Godfather (1972)
2. 9.0 The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
3. 8.9 The Godfather: Part II (1974)
4. 8.8 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
5. 8.8 Casablanca (1942)
6. 8.8 Shichinin no samurai (1954)
7. 8.8 Schindler's List (1993)
8. 8.7 Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966)
9. 8.7 Pulp Fiction (1994)
10. 8.7 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
11. 8.7 Star Wars (1977)
12. 8.7 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
13. 8.7 Rear Window (1954)
14. 8.7 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
15. 8.6 12 Angry Men (1957)
Tell me which of those films you think ROTK is better than.
