To watch a good print of A Brighter Summer Day on a theatre screen would be a dream come true for me. It's a credit to this masterpiece that I love it even though I watched it (several times) in the worst possible condition: on Video Compact Disc format, with non-removable English and Cantonese subtitles.

T2 has for years been my favorite action film. My esteem for James Cameron has only grown over the years.

I may not love it as much as you do, but I called it "very good" in my opening post. Cameron and Peter Jackson have rescued the blockbuster Hollywood movie genre.

My inclusion of Jungle Fever is almost exclusively based on Samuel L. Jackson's performance

The Gator character (and S.L. Jackson's perf) is the only special aspect about a film I truly hate for a lot of reasons. I won't go into them (unless you want me to do so).

the scene when Wesley Snipes goes looking for his brother in the "Taj Mahal" is one of Lee's most audacious moments.

Not bad, but check out a similar scene in Mario Van Peebles' New Jack City and tell me which one you prefer, or which one is more organically integrated into the narrative.
