Quote:
I had 'Birth of a Nation' on the list initially but left it off in the final analysis... Films like the Griffith classic (1918?), Fritz Lang's films (Metropolis (1929), M (1930), etc., from the earliest periods in cinema (pre-Depression) are difficult to include on popular lists. 'Triumph of the Will', and all of Leni Reifenstahl's work has a whole other set of issues that I won't address here. All of the these are perhaps best placed on a list of Most Important Films or Most Influential Films. "M" is one of the greatest films you'll ever see and has been liberally drawn from for decades. See "Dark City" as soon as you can if you appreciate German Existential film...

Raging Bull on the list! Some film historians feel a case can be made that Scorsese has made the Best Film of the 70's (Mean Streets), 80's (Raging Bull) and the 90's (GoodFellas)... It is tough to exclude Pulp Fiction...

Top 10 is hard b/c it changes depending on where you are in your life at the time, but I'll give it a shot.
1 Unbreakable(thats probably never going to change) 2 As Good As it Gets 3 Good Will Hunting 4 American History X 5 25th Hour 6 Road To Perdition 7 Donnie Darko 8 Gladiator 9 The Sixth Sense 10 Heat probably left 30 off that should be there(like the Big Lebowski), but thats off the top of my head.
