Your list is perfect. I would only change the positions of 2001 and Close Encounters.

Based on my IMDB ratings, (In no particular order), it's
E.T
Ghostbusters 1
Interstellar
The Abyss
Pacific Rim
Aliens
Jurassic Park
Jurassic World
Man Of Steel
The Force Awakens
Again they're not in any particular order.
Kind of surprised myself, and it changes over time. For example, I didn't really rate Pacific Rim the first time I saw it. Loved it the second time though. Whereas I totally loved the latest Godzilla, having been a fan of Kaiju films since being a kid, but that's not on the list. It would've been had I been asked at the time though. That's the beauty of film I guess.
