I neglected this list because I'm doing others... and I had a vacation. But... when I went to make the pool of titles for this list, I nearly had a stroke. So many movies. But... this is my list... and it is time to piss some people off.
So... let's start with the top domestic grossing movies of May.
1. Marvel's Avengers 623m
2. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 474m
3. Star Wars: A New Hope 460m
4. Avengers: Age of Ultron 459m
5. Shrek 2 441m
2 MCU. 2 Star Wars. Shrek 2!!!
Wow! Shrek 2!
Now how about THE list?
Top 10 Movies Released in May
Here we go.
Special Mention: There are ALOT of MCU movies in May, and... I've done that list. So no representation here. And... there are plenty of Star Wars movies in May, and I'm not a dedicated fan. So... they aren't on my lists either. Sorry. Was never a Trekkie or a Star Wars fanatic. I appreciate them... but not my thing.
Honorable Mention 1: Spider-Man(5/3/2002): The start of Sam Raimi's trilogy. Tobey Maguire brought Spider-Man to life... and gave us one of the best comic book movie villains.
Honorable Mention 2: Deadpool 2(5/18/2018): Sequel to one of the most successful R-Rated movies of all time. Cable is one of my favorite X-Men characters, and Josh Brolin killed it. But I still think the first movie was better overall.
Honorable Mention 3: Short Circuit(5/9/1986): A Kids/Family movie about a sentient military robot with feelings! I loved that movie... the sequel was pretty good too. Johnny 5 is Alive!!!
10. Smokey and the Bandit(5/27/1977): Legitimately a car chase movie, but Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason made this movie legendary.
9. John Wick 3 - Parabellum(5/17/2019): The 3rd Movie in the series that made Keanu Reeves an action star again. Such a damn good series.
8. Up(5/29/2009): The SADDEST intro in Disney history. Even more so than Bambi. Leading to a story that warmed the heart of an old man who lost everything. Sad... but endearing.
7. Conan the Barbarian(5/14/1982): Arnold Schwarzenegger's giant sword wielding movie of might and magic. This role along with Terminator made Arnold a household name.
6. The Craft(5/3/1996): Catholic School witches. Come on... but really, the story was pretty damn good, and absolutely helped shaped my taste in Goth Girls... Fairuza Balk. Damn.
5. Ernest Goes To Camp(5/3/1987): I grew up loving Ernest. And most of his movies were great, but this one is still my favorite. The run away lawn mower is a wonderful gag. We miss you Jim Varney.
4. X2 X-Men United(5/2/2003): Proof that sequels don't have to suck. It is one of the best sequels ever made, and maybe the best of the X-Men movies. Good and bad working together against a great bad. It just... worked.
3. The Fifth Element(5/9/1997): One of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time. Which I highlighted on my Bruce Willis list. Favorite trivia about the movie... the main protagonist and the main antagonist NEVER meet face to face through the entire movie.
2. Pokémon Detective Pikachu(5/10/2019): One of the Best Video Game movies off all time, and probably because Ryan Reynolds voiced the little yellow mouse. But it showed that it can be done. Since then, we have had 2 excellent Sonic the Hedgehog movies. All it took was one Pokémon movie to break the mold.
And the Number 1 Movie Released In May is...
1. The Crow(5/13/1994): A staple of my movie watching every year. A tradition on Oct 30th. Brandon Lee is a legend, and sadly this movie is what killed me. But his spirit lives on with this Gothic adaptation. Great soundtrack. Great visuals. And... Ernie Hudson. With a Remake starring Bill Skarsgård on the horizon, I hope it lives up to expectations. And even if not, I will continue to watch this one. Why? Because it can't rain all the time.

Did I miss any good ones? Should the MCU get more love on the list? Does it skew the list?
Personally... no.
