The two most controversial and yet the two most influential movies in the History of film is (whether you may or may not want to hear it depending on whether you are WOKE or not) The Birth of A Nation and Citizen Kane. Few people have ever seen or even know about D. W. Griffith's Intolerance or Orphans of the Storm and these films are monumental in the History of the Motion Picture. As time goes by we forget about the Silent and early talkie period which is the beginning of the entire Motion Picture Industry. D. W. Griffith and Orson Welles are the two most influential men in the History of Motion Pictures. The title of Lillian Gish's autobiography is "The Movies, Mr. Griffith and me" That just about sums it up.

1) The Godfather pt.1 or pt.2 2) Star wars: a new hope 3) Once upon a time in America 4) Psycho 5) La dolce vita 6) Schindler's list 7) Shawshank redemption 8) The seventh seal 9) Taxi driver 10) Lord of the rings: the fellowship of the ring Honarable mentions: Pulp fiction, Apocalypse now, Goodfellas, City of god, Citizen kane, Lawrence of Arabia, 12 angry men

I always hated making a Top 10 _Greatest_ list since that is a truly amorphous undertaking. I mean, after all, what exactly is meant by great? Great in what way? Great to audiences? Great aesthetically? Great because it is generally considered a Classic? Just too many ways to approach and try and justify such a list. In the end, your top 10 personal favorites is always a much easer list to make and that is what I am listing below. 01. Ben-Hur (1959) 02. Apocalypse Now (1979) 03. A Clockwork Orange (1971) 04. Excalibur (1981) 05. The Abyss (1989) 06. Blue Velvet (1986) 07. The Graduate (1967) 08. Field of Dreams (1989) 09. Open Your Eyes (1997) 10. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) I Could very easily have included such bona-fide classics as Twelve Angry Men, The Third Man, Vertigo, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Exorcist, Jaws, Blade Runner etc... but from a personal perspective the films listed above hold a certain aesthetic fascination for me and I never tire of them. So many to choose from!

Most of these picks are in my top 10 favorites. It can be hard for me to differentiate my favorites against my view of the best. In chronological order: - Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (HM: Passion of Joan of Arc, City Lights) - La Strada (HM: 8 1/2, La Dolce Vita) - The Seventh Seal (HM: Autumn Sonata, Fanny and Alexander, Cries and Whispers) - The 400 Blows - Andrei Rublev (HM: Mirror, Sacrifice) - Badlands - Barry Lyndon (HM: 2001: A Space Odyssey) - Taxi Driver - Apocalypse Now (HM: The Godfather I and II, Come and See) - Chungking Express (HM: In the Mood for Love)

Solid list. There is a couple on that list I have yet to see and will definitely have to check out sooner rather than later. I don't think you either fully can or even should try to seperate your favorites from "the best," as if there even is some scientifically objective way to measure such a thing in a manner completely detatched from ypur experience of a thing. Obviously you can love movies that you acknowledge aren't particularly great, but you can also recognize that something is great and not personally love it. In that case, why put it on your list in the first place? At that point, you'd just be regurgitating something closer to consensus rather than providing your own unique perspective that balances both your recognition of quality and your equally valid experience with something. Is The Godfather a better movie than Return of the King? Probably, and purely on a technical level, I would probably completely agree (for the record, I love them both), but I can't and won't deny that ROTK spoke to something in my soul on a deeper level than The Godfather did or probably ever will. I think that's something that ought to be taken heavily into account and shouldn't be ignorwd. While I think there's value in acknowledging that which is widely recognized for its greatness, putting that at the forefront of one's judgment with no regard for how it did or didn't personally resonate with you defeats the purpose of making your own list, I think. It says nothing about the films themselves other than what everyone else says, and it reveals nothing about the person making the list. At the same time, I might rather watch Zombieland over Taxi Driver more often than not at any given time, but I'm not going to pretend as though Taxi Driver isn't both an excellent film and in a completely different league above Zombieland. My point is that there's an intangible but clear balance between objective quality and subjective experience, and you can't really quantify that sort of thing. They are both equally important and our experience with the art form is uniquely valuable.

I have only really been fascinated with movies for the last five months, so I have not had enough of a chance to see many of the most talked-about films, but here is my Top 10 in no particular order: - The Dekalog - Citizen Kane - Ikiru - The Night of the Hunter - The Searchers - Raging Bull - Apocalypse Now - Dr. Strangelove - Vivre Sa Vie - Vertigo

great stuff here. I recently (two days ago) rewatched French Connection and was blown away.

Not a list I know (I might think of one in due course) but one film that I would always put would actually be "Kind Hearts and Coronets". Why a light comedy? Well, for a start it's not really that light but more of a black comedy. Also, in my view, it's one of those "perfect" films. The plot, the script, the performances (Sir Alec Guinness playing multiple roles is a joy and Joan Greenwood could read the telephone book and make it gripping) and the direction all just work.

Also Dr. Matthews, that I am a huge fan of Brad Bird, and your appreciation for Ratatouille and his general work in direction made me very excited. This is my list: 1. The Iron Giant (1999) 2. Ran (1985) 3. Notorious (1946) 4. Arrival (2016) 5. Some Like It Hot (1959) 6. Almost Famous (2000) 7. When Harry Met Sally… (1989) 8. Singin’ In The Rain (1952) 9. City Lights (1931) 10. Three Colors: Red (1994)

excellent, thank you. Iron Giant is the very rare movie that gets a tear from me.

Why Sunrise dropped at all in the latest Sight and Sound poll is a bloody shame. You CAN NOT make a more visually or emotionally compelling film. But with all the young and younger critics voting on the list I might have expected it. Just for the record my favorite films (I don't like to say "best") are Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, The Rules of the Game, I Walked With a Zombie, The Flowers of St. Francis, The Searchers, Kiss Me Deadly, Touch of Evil, Vertigo, Demy's Lola, Shoot the Piano Player, Contempt and Goodfellas I love noir above all so 3 have made my list.

Quite an amazing list of films! I will have to watch Children of Paradise soon. Here's my top 10 (in no particular order): 1. Chinatown (1974) 2. 8 1/2 (1963) 3. Taxi Driver (1976) 4. His Girl Friday (1940) 5. Cache (2005) 6. Night and Fog (1955) 7. Apocalypse Now (1979) 8. Chungking Express (1994) 9. La grande Illusion (1937) 10. Brief Encounter (1945)/Ugetsu (1953) I had to pick 11 since I can't leave out any among these. I have picked only one film released after 2000, but there were quite a few which I really liked but couldn't put them in top 10: In the mood for love, The Royal Tenenbaums, Memories of Murder and The Social Network.

It's also nice to see the comments section, adding to some great viewing suggestions. Here are some of my favorite films in no particular order, many which pervade a strong sensuality and artistic cinematography. - Logan's Run - 300 - Jumanji: The Next Level - The Fifth Element - Aliens - Cloud Atlas - Pride and Prejudice (2005) - Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Blade Runner 2049 - The Tempest (2010)

A Love Song For Bobby Long, The Lord of the Rings, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Once Upon a Time in the West, Tree of Life, Apocalypse Now, Le Notti Bianchi, Chinatown, The Third Man, Blade Runner. It is a difficult to make this list. I've left films from my favourite directors such as Tarkovsky, Bergman and Hitchcock out!

I would pick the following: - Bicycle Thieves (1947) - A Brighter Summer Day (1991) - City Lights (1931) - Do the Right Thing (1989) - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) - Parasite (2019) - Rear Window (1954) - Spirited Away (2001) - Touch of Evil (1958) - Vivre Sa Vie (1962) Also, no need to be ashamed of adding Star Wars to your list, it ended up in the top 250!

I have a top 100, but I am going to revise it for this presentation to coincide with your selection process - Kurosawa is Ran (32) Favourite film, also a war movie is Casablanca (1) Silent is The General (10) Science Fiction is Blade Runner FC (16) Hitchcock is Vertigo (6) French, also about the WWII Resistance is L'Armee des Ombres (5) Animated is Dumbo (24) Documentary is Of Time and the City (3) Tarkovsky is Stalker (unplaced but likely top 10) My cheat is the polar opposite of Citizen Kane, come on, there has to be a musical comedy to balance all the po faced stuff - This Is Spinal Tap (57)

1. Late Spring 2. Dr Strangelove 3. His Girl Friday 4. My Neighbor Totoro 5. Sherlock Jr 6. Pather Panchali 7. Yojimbo 8. A Moment of Innocence 9. Rear Window 10.

My favorite comedy? Kicking and Screaming by Noah Baumbach. The rest of my list doesn’t really fit into categories. I guess they’re dramas basically. Nothing pre-1970 either. That’s a deficiency probably. Days of Heaven My Father’s Glory The Straight Story Chocolat (Claire Denis) Ruby in Paradise For the last spot I’m deliberating between Still Walking by the great Hirokazu Kore-eda, or The Legend of the Holy Drinker by Ermanno Olmi. I think instead I’ll go with Nights of Cabiria by Federico Fellini.

There’s something indelible about it right, not the least being the kind of miraculous performance we get from Richard Farnsworth. He would be my Grandparents age who both served in WW 2.

The criteria I went for were influence on future filmmakers, innovation of new techniques and overall reach. My list is also a little bit biased, but so is everyone's. #10: The Godfather Part II (1974) #9: 12 Angry Men (1957) #8: My Neighbor Totoro (1988) #7: King Kong (1933) #6: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (1966) #5: Mirror (1975) #4: Psycho (1960) #3: Casablanca (1942) #2: Seven Samurai (1954) #1: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

I was considering putting Blade Runner on but I already had a sci-fi so I went with my favourite animated movie instead. Also I could have picked about 5 Hitchcock's but Psycho is by far the most impactful on pop culture.

in no order, but these first five are the ones I picked based on the fact they speak to me the most: Apocalypse now stalker Beau Travail Come and see Viridiana The next 4 are favourites but would include them because I don't think they're appreciated enough, so kinda underrated picks but not really? Diabolique Sleuth The 1934 Raymond Bernard 4-hour version of Les miserables Ballad of Narayama (or maybe swap for I am Cuba) then I'd probably throw in Once upon a time in the West as a final pick. just some honourable mentions I'd consider maybe changing around with the ten: Cinema paradiso 12 angry men seven samurai pierrot le fou fanny and Alexander
