You say that almost like you dont know what Gremlins is. I think the key to a perfect movie is that the hero gets laid (or is inferred to) and someone kills an elderly woman. Aliens fits in this idealism because its implied that the elderly woman are killed and the Queen/Power Loader gangbang climax makes up for the lack of actual humping. (I can sacrifice and reach with Independence Day since everyone understands the opening scenes where Smith is urinating as the 'post-sex-piss' and the First Lady being our elderly victim, though a young one) This works in lesser forms too since Harry and the Hendersons 'frightens' old ladies "to death" (sex acts omitted as spoilers) as well as choice scenes from Howard the Duck or Earth Girls are Easy. So the third factor would be the inclusion of a monster and/or alien. Not to mention the potency of the cast so while there's no denying Ms. Weaver or a young Jim Carry-Hairy, a strong cast simply creates a better film and that brings me to my point: Mars Attacks barely missed the 'best movie' while any film from the Toxic Avenger series (or Evil Dead, obviously) clearly defeats its attempts and it's only fair that all 3 films (in their essence) are the Triforce of film perfection since they contain everything that is cool, including ghosts and occasionally Rick Moranis (ret.).
Whatever, to you, sir.
