What the heck! Star Wars 85! We need to infuse your list with some Sci-Fi.
All 3 Star Wars films should be in your top 10. You need all 3 Lord of the rings films with Return of the King way up there. Pretty sure it won best picture that year.
T2: judgment day. Is one of the best pure action films of all time.
I like where you have Aliens over Alien. Space Marines kick ass and that movie scared the shit out of me.
The Matrix deserves a mention too.
As far as Rocky it should be in the list but Rocky IV is the best of the series. I MUST BREAK YOU! Then Rocky's speech at the end. " I came here not liking yous much and yous did not like mes much. If I can change….we all can change! " I am pretty sure that is the reason we won the cold war!
War Movies: you got to have Full Metal Jacket in there.
Comedy Movies: Office space!
Cartoon: (not gay) Lion King
