I'll go with 20, since the OT obviously is in a tie for first with Field of Dreams and Bull Durham. AOTC is probably in the Top 25. TPM maybe, if only for Liam Neeson's performance.
Okay, here goes...
1 (tie) - SW
             ESB
             ROTJ
             FOD
             BD
6 - Unforgiven
7 - Old School
8 - Friday
9 - Office Space
10 - A River Runs Through It

After about the first 10, the list degenerates into random shots
AOTC
Last of the Mohicans (1992)
Casablanca
Saving Private Ryan
Good Will Hunting
Spaceballs
Road Trip
The Naked Gun
Three Amigos
Batman (1989)
Spider Man (2002)
The Mummy
American Pie
Transformers the Movie
An American Tale (Feivel, the little Don Buth mouse)
For Love of the Game
The Untouchables
Indy 1 and 3
T2
Matrix 1

If we're all admitting a guilty pleasure movie, gotta go with Wild Things. Please tell me Denise Richards was not using a body double. I don't see how she could be, given those shots.
