We've pitted 32 of the most successful and beloved summer movies against each other. And now you get to decide which is your favorite.

The Bourne Identity

It was neck-and-neck for almost the entire week, but it appears the majority ultimately prefers the exploits of an on-the-run amnesiac secret agent to the high-flying dogfighting skills of hotshot Naval pilots as "The Bourne Identity" beat "Top Gun" by the ever-so-slightest margin. Now, Jason Bourne will see if high-stakes spy games are more enticing than swashbuckling archaeology as he accepts the mission of attempting to top "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

"The Lion King" put up a good fight but was ultimately dethroned as the animated Disney

Back to the Future

The tricked-out robots in disguise of "Transformers" couldn't outrun a time-traveling DeLorean as "Back to the Future" raced ahead of Michael Bay's 21st century live-action resurrection of the beloved '80s franchise. Now, it's Science vs. Magic as Marty McFly and Doc Brown prepare to take on the be-all, end-all adventure of the Boy Who Lived.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

When it came to taking on the Boy Who Lived, "The Goonies" weren't good enough as "The Deathly Hallows - Part 2" proved to be the better big n' loud fantasy adventure starring a

Ghostbusters

Here come the "Men in Black" ... and there go the "Men in Black" in the wake of "Ghostbusters," which proved to be the movie you were gonna call over the one about the secret government agents protecting us from the scum of the Earth. Now, the paranormal investigators and eliminators are taking on another New York hero, a certain web-slinger who would've definitely come in handy in the battle against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Spider-Man

"Wax On, Wax Off" ... and Wax Away, as Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" drop-kicked "The Karate Kid" in a near-landslide. Now, your friendly

Marvel's The Avengers

When it comes to saving the Earth from some outer space menace, Marvel's superhero mashup team left the ragtag oil drillers of "Armageddon" in the dust -- a lot of dust, actually. Now, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye, Thor and Scarlett Johansson (she just plays herself, right?) will take on a more humble kind of American hero, one who's always quick to remind us that life is like a box of chocolates.

Forrest Gump

It was a close race but Mr. Gump managed to "Run, Forrest, Run!" ahead of another beloved cinematic icon, the big-eyed, long-fingered alien

Iron Man

Richard Donner's original "Superman" couldn't leap the tall building that is the newier, shinier "Iron Man," especially now that Tony Stark's third stand-alone adventure is out there breaking all sorts of box office records. Tony Stark is one cool cat ... but is he cooler than Danny Zuko, the alpha male greaser of Rydell High?

Grease

"Dirty Dancing" is hot but when it comes to "Grease," you couldn't help but croon "Hopelessly Devoted to You." Now there's going to be a whole lotta shakin' goin' on as the classic musical takes on Marvel's golden goose ... to which one will you

Jaws

It was a kinda-sorta close call, but you chose the bigger boat of Steven Spielberg's flagship summer blockbuster over Pixar's "Finding Nemo," probably 'cause you prefer your sharks hungry and mean and not seeking therapy. But now "Jaws" is up against "Star Wars," which is probably, like, one of your all-time favorite movies. Not so easy this time, is it?

Star Wars

George Lucas' obscure little space opera beat Roland Emmerich's first of what would end up being many cinematic pieces of disaster porn ("Independence Day") by a wide margin, and now Episode IV of the tale of a galaxy

Warner BrosYes, there's something called "Atlantic Rim." But we'll get to that later. Let's begin with the release of what will probably be the final trailer of "Pacific Rim," Guillermo del Toro's slam-bang summer movie extravaganza.

You probably know the premise of "Pacific Rim" by now, and if not, Jax Teller, er, Charlie Hunnam spells it out for you once again in voiceover: Big monsters emerge from the sea and smash up a bunch of our major cities, which makes us suddenly have the technology, know-how and budget to create equally giant mecha battlesuits that incorporate "two pilots ... our minds, our memories connected ... man and machine become one." Seems a little fussy to us, but whatever works. Now go smash those beasties!

Check out the trailer for 'Pacific Rim':

From there, the trailer offers little to no dialogue exchanges in favor of showcasing what will really be getting lots of butts in seats this summer: lots and lots of giant robots vs. giant monsters

Jurassic Park

Release date: June 11, 1993

Steven Spielberg's rollicking tale of the most ill-advised theme park ever still looks great 20 years after its original release, with Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum running from rampaging T-Rexes, clever-girl velociraptors and those freaky things that spit gunk and make short work of Newman from "Seinfeld." The director's one true companion piece to "Jaws," "Jurassic Park" succeeded in making everyone uneasy around even dino-skeletons in museums ... and crack a nervous smile at every glimpse of "Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They
