Greatest Movies Ever?

What movies would be considered the greatest ever? This includes foreign movies, and I'm looking at more of a universally critically acclamied, influential, artistic perspective. Some movies I think for consideration are:

The Godfather, The Gofather Part 2, Cassablanca, The Seven Samurai, The Bicycle Theif, Children of Paradise, Rashomon, High and Low, The Battle of Algiers, Lawrence of Arabia, 8 1/2.

I have not seen all these films, but these are films I often hear mentioned as the greatest and the ones I have seen I consider the greatest. So I would like more opinions on which films are the top of the top.

Ill just list a few that I consider amazing.

The Godfather (1 and 2)

The Great Dictator

Young Frankenstien

Raging Bull

Taxi Driver

Dog Day Afternoon

Platoon

Oldboy

City of God

Downfall

My Left Foot (pretty much anything with Daniel Day Lewis really)

Anything by Pixar

Scent of a Woman

Jaws

ET

Schindlers List

Sofies Choice

Saving Private Ryan

Stalker is also a popular pick, although I have not seen it yet.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

training day

i dunno what i consider whats the best movie but i really love action movies. my fav action movie right now is house of flying daggers.

A Hard Days Night.

Apocalypse Now

Here are some other favorites of mine:

The Killer

Apocalypse Now

The Blues Brothers

Vertigo

Oldboy

North By Northwest

The Road Warrior

Léon

Le Samouraï

The Abyss

The Godfather 1 and 2

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

The Bourne Supremacy

The Dark Knight

all of them are nearly perfect imo

Godfather Part 1 and 2 The Untouchables Monty Python's Holy Grail The Fugitive Enter the Dragon Pulp Fiction Inglorious Basterds Kill Bill 1 and 2CHOASXIII

great list, but Enter the Dragon? it does not stand the test of time at all. acting is wooden, action is dull, plot is non-existent, i don't see what makes it great.

Thats not true, that was Bruce Lee's last movie.. He had many movies before it.. Its just the fact he was unknown more or less a sa movie start intil that movie...

That being said I think Master and Commander is up there.. Its one of my all time favorite movies witha authentic feel.. Amazing acting, unique and realistic characters, and a overall authentic feel to the time period.. Its a shame too because it bombed at the box office, which is depressing knowing we will never see a sequel for it.

Troll 2, DUH!

there are plent of great actors in rubbish films. it may have been the first, but it just isnt a great movie in it own respect. if it was released today, no one would look twice. you can bet they would at the godfather tho. i dont think a film can be called one of the greatest movies ever if it doesnt stand the test of time at all.

A Hard Days Night.
