What the hell are the first two Harry Potters doing so high on that list? Hell, if you must have one of the films on the list, it should be Part 3, Prisoner of Azkaban. The film was about ten times better than the previous two.

...showing the Top 100 UK films of all time, judged by number of box office admissions...

 

That would also explain why Star Wars:TPM and AOTC rank higher than ESB.
