Directed by John Houston and 1:12 powered by Humphrey Bogart, it begins as a tough survival trek, then tightens into a nerve test about trust, greed, 1:20 and fear. The movie feels real because it was filmed largely on location in 1:25 Mexico. Rare for Hollywood then. It won three Academy Awards and made history 1:31 when Houston and his father both won Oscars for the same film. It is tense, 1:36 darkly funny, and impossible to forget. 1:41 99th place, Dune, Part One, 2021. 1:47 A desert planet, a noble family, and a resource so valuable that empires will 1:52 kill for it. Deni Vilnuv adapts Frank Herbert's famous novel into a huge 1:57 immersive sci-fi experience that feels both ancient and new. The story follows 2:02 a young heir as his family takes charge of harsh Arachus and learns fast that power comes with a price. The movie 2:10 builds tension through atmosphere, sound, and breathtaking scale, always hinting that an even bigger storm is 2:17 approaching. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival and went on to win six Academy Awards, proving blockbuster 2:23 spectacle can still be smart and serious. Even if you know nothing about the book, it pulls you in. 2:32 98th place, No Country for Old Men, 2007. 2:38 This modern western is all nerves, silence, and sudden danger. Joel and 2:43 Ethan Cohen bring Cormarmac McCarthy's novel to the screen with a chase across the wide, empty spaces of 1980 West 2:51 Texas. One wrong decision in the desert turns ordinary life into a survival 2:57 test. While a relentless hunter closes in with chilling calm, alongside the 3:02 pursuit, a weary sheriff watches the world shift and wonders what rules still mean anything. Javier Bardm delivers a 3:10 performance that feels like a nightmare you cannot wake up from. It premiered at Can then won four Academy Awards, 3:17 including best picture, and you can feel why in every tight, breathheld scene. 3:23 Dark, sharp, and unforgettable. 97th place, LA Confidential, 1997. 3:34 Glamour on the surface, corruption underneath. This is Los Angeles at its 3:39 most addictive. Based on the novel by James Elroy, the film follows three very 3:44 different detectives in the early 1950s as one brutal case opens into a web of 3:50 scandal, power, and media illusions. The twists are sharp, but the real hook is 3:56 watching each man choose what he will sacrifice for truth, pride, or ambition. 4:02 Director Curtis Hansen keeps the pace brisk while letting the city feel alive and dangerous. It earned nine Academy 4:10 Award nominations, won two, and was later added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry. Pure noir energy 4:19 with a modern pulse. 96th place, Heat, 1995. 4:28 Heat feels like a full night in Los Angeles. Restless, loud, and electric, 4:34 Michael Man follows a master thief and a relentless detective as their lives circle toward a collision neither can 4:41 avoid. The action is famous, but the real power is the quiet pressure between 4:47 the two leads. Al Paccino and Robert Dairo finally share a scene here in a 4:53 celebrated coffee shop moment that plays like a chess match made of respect and 4:58 threat. Man's detail-driven style makes the world feel real, especially the 5:04 downtown shootout whose sound and intensity still get talked about decades 5:09 later. It is long, tense, and totally worth it for any fan of crime movies. 5:18 95th place, Rocky, 1976. 5:24 Rocky is the ultimate underdog movie, the kind that makes you want to stand up and cheer. A boxer from Philadelphia 5:31 gets a once-ina-lifetime shot at the champion, and every bruise suddenly matters. Sylvester Stallone wrote it and 5:39 stars, giving it a hungry energy that feels real. This story is not about 5:44 being perfect. It is about refusing to quit. Rocky won the Academy Award for 5:49 best picture and also won for directing and film editing. Stallone was also 5:55 nominated for acting and writing the same year. The Library of Congress later added Rocky to the National Film 6:01 Registry, proof that its message still connects. 6:07 94th place, The Great Dictator, 1940. 6:12 Charlie Chaplan used comedy as a bold weapon against tyranny and it still lands today. In his first all-talking 6:19 film, he plays two roles, a kind Jewish barber and a dictator who rules by fear. 6:26 The story moves from small jokes to real danger as ordinary lives are squeezed by 6:32 hate and propaganda. What many viewers remember most is the ending when Chaplain steps out of the comedy to 6:39 deliver a plea for peace and human decency. The film received five Academy 6:44 Award nominations, including best picture. It was later added to the National Film Registry, a sign of how 6:51 powerful its message remains. 93rd place, The Bridge on the River 6:58 Quai, 1957. This epic war drama turns a simple order 7:04 into a moral trap. In a brutal prison camp in Burma, British prisoners are 7:10 forced to build a bridge and their commanding officer clings to discipline and tradition as a way to survive. But 7:16 pride can become its own prison, and every choice raises the question of what duty really means. Director David Lean 7:24 builds tension with wide landscapes, quiet moments, and a constant feeling that something will snap. The Bridge on 7:31 the River Quai won seven Academy Awards, including best picture. It was later 7:37 added to the National Film Registry, showing how strongly it has stayed in film history. 7:44 92nd place, The Wizard of Oz, 1939. 7:50 Few movies feel as magical the hundth time as they do the first. A young girl 7:56 is swept from Kansas into a strange land of color and wonder, meets unforgettable 8:02 friends, and learns that courage, heart, and brains can be found within. The 8:07 technicolor look still dazzles, and the music became part of everyday culture for generations. 8:14 Over the rainbow won the Academy Award for best original song, and the film also won for its original score. Even if 8:22 you know the road they follow, the movie still feels like pure adventure, full of humor, warmth, and imagination. 8:30 Judy Garland makes Dorothy feel real. 8:35 91st Place, The Maltese Falcon, 1941. 8:41 If you want a movie that defined sharp detective storytelling, this is it. 8:47 Humphrey Bogart plays private eye Sam Spade pulled into a dangerous hunt for a priceless blackbird statue that everyone 8:54 wants and nobody can be trusted around. The dialogue snaps, the shadows feel 9:00 thick, and every smile might hide a trap. The plot moves like a chess match 9:05 and the tension never lets you relax for long. Written and directed by John Houston in his feature debut, it helped 9:12 shape what we now call film noir. The Maltese Falcon earned three Academy 9:17 Award nominations and was selected for the National Film Registry, proof of its lasting influence. 9:25 90th place, Double Indemnity, 1944. 9:31 This is one of the purest and most thrilling examples of film noir ever made. Directed by Billy Wilder and 9:37 co-written with Raymond Chandler, it follows an insurance salesman who gets pulled into a deadly plot when a 9:44 seductive woman proposes a plan to kill her husband and collect on his life insurance. From the beginning, the 9:50 shadows, sharp dialogue, and moral tension pull you into a world where the line between right and wrong almost 9:57 disappears. The movie earned seven Academy Award nominations and has influenced countless thrillers since. 10:04 It's a clever, tense ride that shows how temptation and bad choices can lead to a 10:10 dangerous spiral. 89th place, All About Eve, 1950. 10:18 All About Eve is a gripping drama set in the world of Broadway, where ambition and envy play out with dazzling 10:25 performances and sharp wit. Betty Davis stars as a seasoned stage star whose 10:31 life is shaken by a young fan who insinuates herself into her world, charming everyone around her while 10:38 secretly plotting her rise. The film explores fame, loyalty, aging, and the 10:45 cost of success, all delivered with smart dialogue and unforgettable characters. It made history with a 10:52 record-tying 14 Academy Award nominations and won six, including best 10:58 picture. Famous for its strong ensemble cast and timeless look at human 11:04 ambition, All About Eve feels just as powerful today. 11:10 88th place, The Battle of Alers, 1966. 11:16 This powerful war drama blends fiction and reality to recreate the struggle for Algeria's independence from French rule 11:24 in the 1950s. Shot in a documentary style black and white and featuring 11:29 mostly non-acctors, the film feels raw and immediate, showing both the guerilla 11:34 fighters and the forces sent to crush them. Its realistic approach makes you feel like a witness to history rather 11:41 than just a movie watcher. The Battle of Alers won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for an 11:48 Academy Award and its impact on political cinema has been lasting. It's a gripping, thoughtful story about 11:54 resistance, fear, and the price of freedom. 12:00 87th Place, Once Upon a Time in the West, 1968. 12:05 This epic western from Sergio Leone is a slow burn masterpiece that feels like a 12:11 sweeping poem about the changing frontier of America. Set to one of Eno 12:16 Moricone's most iconic scores, the story brings together a mysterious harmonica 12:21 playing stranger, a ruthless killer, and a determined widow caught in a web of greed, revenge, and survival. The wide 12:30 dramatic landscapes and long tense scenes let the characters breathe and the world feel vast. Henry Fonda plays 12:38 against type as a chilling villain and the film's style and mood made it one of the greatest westerns ever made. Now 12:45 preserved as culturally significant by the Library of Congress. 12:51 86th place, The Wild Bunch, 1969. 12:58 Sam Peekenpaw's revolutionary western changed how violence and action were shown on screen, blending poetic tragedy 13:05 with raw realism. The story follows an aging outlaw gang trying to survive on 13:11 the Mexico United States border as the world around them modernizes and leaves them behind. The film's bold editing, 13:19 dramatic slow-motion action, and complex characters make it unforgettable. It was 13:24 controversial at the time for its intense violence, yet also praised for its emotional depth and bold filmmaking 13:31 style. Selected for preservation in the National Film Registry, The Wild Bunch 13:36 stands as a landmark in cinema and one of the most influential westerns ever made. 13:44 85th place, Nashville, 1975. 13:49 Nashville drops you into a few chaotic days where music, politics, fame, and 13:55 ordinary life crash together in one buzzing city. Instead of focusing on 14:00 just one hero, it follows a whole crowd of singers, dreamers, managers, and 14:07 strangers, and their paths keep colliding in unexpected ways that makes 14:12 the film feel alive, like you are eavesdropping on a real place at a real 14:17 moment. Director Robert Altman keeps the energy loose and natural, then hits you with 14:23 scenes that suddenly land hard. The film earned Oscar nominations and won for the 14:29 song I'm Easy. 84th place, The Gold Rush, 1925. 14:38 The Gold Rush proves that silent comedy can still feel big, warm, and 14:44 surprisingly moving. Charles Chaplan plays a lonely prospector chasing 14:49 fortune in the frozen Klondike. And the film turns hunger, bad luck, and 14:54 stubborn hope into moments you will never forget. The laughs are physical and simple, but the emotion sneaks up on 15:01 you because the hero keeps trying even when the world is cruel. Chaplain cared 15:07 about this movie so much that he re-released it in 1942 with narration 15:12 and music. And that re-release was nominated for two Academy Awards. He 15:18 even said it was the film he wanted to be remembered by and it later joined the National Film Registry. 15:26 83rd place, The General, 1926. 15:32 The General is proof that action comedy did not begin with modern blockbusters. 15:37 Buster Katon plays a railroad man whose beloved locomotive is stolen during the Civil War and the chase that follows is 15:44 pure momentum. Everything is clear and easy to follow, even without much dialogue because Katon builds jokes out 15:52 of timing, physics, and real danger. Many of the stunts were done for real 15:57 with full-size trains, which makes the scale feel unbelievable for a silent film. It was later selected for the 16:05 National Film Registry in the very first year the list was created. A sign of how 16:10 much its craft has aged well. Watch it and you will see where so many movie 16:15 thrills came from. 80. Second place, The Night of the 16:21 Hunter, 1955. The Night of the Hunter feels like a 16:27 dark bedtime story told with dreamlike images and real dread. A charming 16:33 preacher arrives in a small town, and two kids become the only ones who truly sense the danger behind his smile. The 16:40 movie blends suspense with moments that feel almost like a fairy tale, using shadows, river mist, and silence to keep 16:48 you on edge. Robert Mitchum gives one of the most unforgettable performances in 16:53 classic cinema and the film is also special for another reason. It was the only movie ever directed by actor 17:00 Charles Lton and it later joined the National Film Registry in 1992. 17:05 Even today it looks and sounds strangely modern. 17:12 81st place. Touch of Evil 1958. 17:17 Touch of Evil is a sweaty late night noir set on a border where law and crime 17:22 blur together. After a sudden explosion, a cleancut investigator and a local 17:28 police legend collide, and every step deeper into the case feels riskier. 17:33 Orson Wells directs with bold angles, heavy shadows, and a mood that never 17:39 lets you relax.

The movie was later added to the National Film Registry in 1993, a stamp 17:58 of its lasting influence. If you love mysteries with grit, this is essential. 18:06 80th place. Barry Lindon, 1975. 18:12 Stanley Kubri turns an 18th century rise and fall into a movie that looks like a living painting. A clever Irish drifter 18:19 climbs into high society, chasing status and comfort. And the higher he rises, 18:25 the more fragile everything becomes. The cool narration adds bite, while duels 18:30 and romance keep the tension personal. The film is famous for candle lit scenes 18:35 filmed to capture a soft glow that feels almost unreal. It won four Academy 18:41 Awards for cinematography, costume design, art direction, and music scoring. If you like slow, gorgeous 18:49 storytelling where success feels thrilling and dangerous, this one pulls you in slowly and hits hard. 18:58 79th place, Do the Right Thing, 1989. 19:04 One blazing day in Brooklyn, small annoyances stack up, and a neighborhood that feels like a family starts to feel 19:11 like a pressure cooker. Spike Lee writes, directs, and appears on screen, 19:16 filling every corner with humor, music, and people you instantly recognize. The 19:22 movie pulls you in with energy, then asks big questions about pride, respect, and how quickly words can turn into real 19:29 harm. Public Enemies: Fight the Power was created for the film and becomes its 19:34 heartbeat. It premiered at can, earned two Oscar nominations, and later entered 19:39 the National Film Registry in 1999. Even now, it feels urgent, loud, and 19:45 painfully human. 78th place, Dr. Strange Love or How I 19:52 Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, 1964. 19:58 This is a comedy that makes you laugh while feeling nervous at the same time. A single mistake starts a chain 20:05 reaction, and leaders argue in bright rooms while disaster inches closer. 20:10 Stanley Kubri keeps it sharp and fast, and Peter Cers steals scenes by playing 20:16 multiple roles with totally different personalities. The jokes land, but the dread underneath 20:22 never leaves, which is why it still feels relevant. The film received four Academy Award nominations, including 20:29 best picture. In 1989, it was among the first 25 films chosen for the National 20:35 Film Registry, a sign of its lasting impact. 20:40 77th place, The Graduate, 1967. 20:46 The Graduate captures that strange moment after college when everyone expects you to feel proud, but you 20:52 mostly feel lost. A quiet young man drifts through parties, advice, and 20:58 expectations, then makes a choice that flips his future upside down. 21:03 Director Mike Nichols keeps it funny and uncomfortable at the same time, like you are laughing while holding your breath. 21:11 The soundtrack is unforgettable using Simon and Garfuncle songs that became part of pop culture, including Mrs. 21:19 Robinson. It was the highest grossing film of 1967 in North America, won the 21:25 Oscar for best director, and later joined the National Film Registry. It 21:30 speaks to anyone who has ever felt stuck. 21:35 76th place, The Dark Knight, 2008. 21:41 The Dark Knight takes a superhero story and turns it into a gripping crime thriller with real weight. Batman faces 21:48 an enemy who is not chasing money, but chaos, and Gotham starts to crack under 21:53 the pressure. Christopher Nolan keeps the action clear and intense. Yet, the 21:58 real hook is the moral stress on every character and every decision. Heath Ledger's Joker is unforgettable, and his 22:06 performance won the Academy Award for best supporting actor. The film also won for sound editing, and in 2020, it was 22:14 added to the National Film Registry. It is tense, smart, and still feels like an 22:20 event today. 75th place, Raiders of the Lost Ark, 22:27 1981. Raiders of the Lost Ark is pure adventure fuel. The kind of movie that 22:34 makes you grin and lean forward. A tough, smart archaeologist races across 22:39 the globe to stop dangerous enemies from getting their hands on an ancient religious treasure. Steven Spielberg 22:45 directs with non-stop momentum, mixing humor, suspense, and practical stunts 22:51 that still feel real. It became the top grossing film of 1981 in North America 22:57 and won five Academy Awards, proving it was not just fun, but expertly made. The 23:03 Library of Congress later added it to the National Film Registry, a sign of its cultural staying power. If you want 23:10 a movie that never loses speed and still feels timeless, this is the standard. 23:18 74th place, The Exorcist, 1973. 23:24 The Exorcist is the rare horror film that feels like a serious drama first, then becomes genuinely terrifying. A 23:32 mother watches her child change in frightening ways, and the search for answers turns into a test of faith, 23:38 fear, and endurance. Director William Freriedkin keeps everything grounded, 23:43 which makes each strange moment hit harder. The film made history as the first horror movie nominated for the 23:50 Academy Award for best picture. It earned 10 Oscar nominations and won two, 23:55 including best adapted screenplay and best sound. It was also a huge hit and 24:01 stayed famous for decades. In 2010, it was selected for the National Film 24:06 Registry, proving its impact goes far beyond scares. 24:12 73rd place, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, 1975. 24:19 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest takes you inside a mental institution where rules are rigid, spirits are tired, and 24:27 one rebellious newcomer refuses to be flattened. What begins as dark comedy 24:32 slowly turns into a powerful story about dignity, control, and the need to be 24:38 treated as human. Directed by Milos Foreman, the performances feel painfully 24:43 real, especially from Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher. The movie never talks 24:48 down to its characters, and it never lets you forget the cost of cruelty. It 24:54 is also one of cinema's rare award sweepers, winning the big five Academy Awards, including best picture. Even if 25:01 you have never seen it, you have felt its influence everywhere. 25:07 72nd place, The Shining, 1980. 25:13 The Shining is not just a haunted hotel story. It is a slow, icy nightmare that 25:19 builds with every quiet hallway and every closed door. Stanley Kubri adapts 25:25 a Stephen King novel into a film that feels hypnotic, using symmetry, silence, 25:31 and music that tightens your nerves. Jack Nicholson leads a cast trapped in 25:37 an isolated winter setting where tension grows day by day. The camera movement is 25:43 famously smooth and floating, shaped by early showstoppping steady cam work that 25:49 changed how horror could be filmed. It divided some viewers at first, but it 25:54 grew into one of the most studied horror films ever made. Kubri co-wrote the 26:00 screenplay with Diane Johnson. 71st place, A Clockwork Orange, 1971. 26:10 A Clockwork Orange is a bold, unsettling look at violence, choice, and what 26:16 happens when society tries to control the human mind. Stanley Kubri adapts 26:21 Anthony Burgess's novel with dark humor and stylized images that make you uneasy 26:26 even while you cannot look away. It asks a simple question with huge consequences. Is someone still good if 26:34 they are forced to behave? The film earned four Academy Award nominations, 26:40 including best picture. It sparked years of argument about art, influence, and 26:45 responsibility, which is part of why it still feels alive. Decades later, it was 26:51 selected for the National Film Registry in 2020, showing how lasting its 26:56 cultural impact has been. It is challenging, memorable, and unlike anything else. 27:04 70th place, Alien, 1979. 27:10 Alien is sci-fi horror at its most intense, turning deep space into a 27:15 locked room you cannot escape. A working crew answers a distress signal, and what 27:21 begins as routine becomes a fight for survival against something unknown. 27:26 Ridley Scott builds dread through darkness, strange sounds, and tight corridors, so you feel trapped right 27:33 alongside the characters. Sigourney Weaver became a breakout star here, carrying the film with grit and nerve. 27:41 It is tense, smart, and famous for the chilling promise that in space no one 27:46 can hear you scream. 69th place, Bladeunner, 1982. 27:56 Bladeunner is a rainy neon vision of the future that feels thrilling and strangely emotional. In a crowded city 28:04 of constant night, a weary detective is hired to track down human-like replicants who refuse to disappear 28:10 quietly. Ridley Scott blends crime noir mood with big sci-fi ideas, asking what 28:17 makes someone real and what memories are worth. Harrison Ford anchors the story 28:23 inspired by a novel by Philip K. Dick. The film was nominated for Academy Awards for art direction and visual 28:30 effects, later added to the National Film Registry, and Ridley Scott's final cut helped cement its legend. It keeps 28:38 pulling you back for another look. 68th place, Chinatown, 28:46 1974. Chinatown pulls you into the 1930s Los 28:51 Angeles, where sunshine and glamour hide secrets that can ruin lives. A private 28:57 detective takes what seems like a simple job and soon finds himself in a maze of 29:02 lies, power, and corruption tied to land and water. The mystery keeps tightening, 29:09 but the real hook is the mood, the sharp dialogue, and the sense that the truth comes with a price. 29:16 Jack Nicholson leads with cool charm and growing frustration. The film earned 11 29:22 Academy Award nominations and one best original screenplay. It was later added 29:28 to the National Film Registry and it still feels like the perfect noir puzzle. 29:34 67th place, Jaws, 1975. 29:40 Jaws is the movie that made the ocean feel dangerous, and it still works like a perfect suspense machine. A seaside 29:48 town faces a terrifying threat just as tourist season begins, and three very 29:53 different men set out to stop it before more lives are changed. Steven Spielberg 29:59 builds fear through what you do not see as much as what you do. Keeping the tension simple and human, John Williams 30:06 tweeote theme became instantly famous and still raises your pulse. Jaws won 30:12 three Academy Awards for editing, score, and sound, and it was also nominated for 30:18 best picture. It became the highest grossing film worldwide at the time. 30:24 66th place, Taxi Driver, 1976. 30:30 Taxi Driver is a gripping look at loneliness in a city that never sleeps. A troubled veteran takes a night job 30:37 driving a cab through New York, watching the streets and the people until his thoughts start to darken. Martin 30:44 Scorsesei turns everyday moments into tension. And Robert Dairo creates a character you cannot ignore, even when 30:51 you disagree with him. The film feels raw and uncomfortably real, like you are 30:56 trapped inside someone's restless mind. Taxi Driver won The Palm Door at Khan, 31:02 earned four Academy Award nominations, including best picture, and was later selected for the National Film Registry. 31:10 It stays with you long after it ends. 31:15 65th place, 8 and a half, 1963. 31:21 8 and a half is a movie about the messy, funny, and sometimes painful act of 31:26 creating. A famous film director hits a wall while trying to make his next project and suddenly his present, his 31:34 memories and his fantasies start blending together. Instead of giving neat answers, it lets you feel the 31:40 pressure of expectations, fame, and self-doubt, all wrapped in stunning 31:46 black and white images. Fellini turns confusion into something beautiful, playful, and honest. The film won two 31:54 Academy Awards for best foreign language film and best costume design in black and white, plus major nominations. Even 32:02 if you feel lost at times, the emotion and imagination stay with you. 32:09 64th place, The 400 Blows, 1959. 32:15 The 400 Blows follows a teenage boy in Paris who feels misunderstood at home 32:21 and judged at school and you can sense the loneliness behind his mischief. The 32:26 story moves with a natural street level realism yet it hits like a personal 32:32 confession. Trufo brings humor and tenderness to moments that could have been cruel and the city becomes part of 32:39 the emotion. The young lead feels completely real, like someone you might 32:44 have known. The film won best director at Can and earned an Academy Award 32:49 nomination for original screenplay. It is warm, rebellious, and heartbreaking. 32:55 And the final image stays with you.

Sergio Leone makes tension 1:07:30 feel like a slow drum beat, then breaks it with sudden humor and action. Clint 1:07:36 Eastwood plays it cool, and the dusty landscapes and extreme close-ups make every stare feel personal. The movie is 1:07:44 also famous for its music. Eno Moricone wrote key themes before filming and 1:07:50 Leone even played them on set so the camera could move with the rhythm. Every 1:07:55 pause dares you to blink first and the payoff is pure cinema. 1:08:01 24th place, Raging Bull, 1980. Raging Bull is not a feel-good sports 1:08:08 movie. It is a raw look at obsession and self-destruction. In stark black and white, it follows a 1:08:15 champion boxer whose rage keeps spilling into every part of his life, from love 1:08:21 to family to friendship. Martin Scorsesei shoots the fights like storms, 1:08:26 then lets quiet scenes sting just as hard. Robert Dairo disappears into the 1:08:32 role, making you feel both the strength and the damage. You do not have to like 1:08:37 him to understand him. The film's cutting gives it a relentless pulse. 1:08:43 At the Oscars, Dairo won best actor and the film won best film editing. It is 1:08:48 intense, honest, and impossible to shake. 1:08:54 23rd place, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, 2003. 1:09:00 This finale feels like the kind of big screen event movies are made for. The 1:09:06 threat is enormous, but the heart stays in friendship, loyalty, and the courage 1:09:11 to keep walking when hope is thin. The story jumps between battlefields and 1:09:17 quiet moments, and each path feels urgent in its own way. The action is 1:09:22 huge, yet it never forgets the people fighting for a future. Even if you have 1:09:27 not seen the first two, the emotion is easy to follow. Peter Jackson builds 1:09:32 suspense, beauty, and feeling into one long rush that still stays clear. At the 1:09:38 Academy Awards, it was nominated for 11 Oscars and won all 11, including best 1:09:44 picture. It is a true goodbye that lands. 1:09:49 22nd place, Star Wars Episode 4, A New Hope, 1977. 1:09:57 A New Hope is the movie that made space feel like a real adventure you could almost jump into. It starts with a 1:10:04 rescue, then turns into a fast chase where a farm boy, a princess, and a smuggler join a rebellion against an 1:10:11 empire. The world is packed with strange creatures, iconic ships, and humor that 1:10:17 keeps it light even when the danger rises. George Lucas wrote and directed it, and John Williams' score makes every 1:10:24 scene feel bigger. At the Oscars, the film won six awards, including visual 1:10:30 effects, film editing, original score, art direction, costume design, and 1:10:35 sound. It is pure movie magic, simple and endlessly rewatchable. It launched a 1:10:42 cultural wave that still hasn't ended. 21st place, The Shaw Shank Redemption, 1:10:50 1994. The Shaw Shank Redemption is a story about hope that never turns cheesy. 1:10:58 Inside a harsh prison, an unfairly sentenced banker meets a man who knows how to survive, and their friendship 1:11:05 slowly becomes a lifeline. The movie builds power through small moments, 1:11:10 quiet humor, and the idea that patience can be a form of courage. It does not 1:11:15 rush, it earns every feeling. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman make the bond 1:11:21 feel real, and the narration pulls you in like a great novel. The Academy 1:11:26 nominated the film for seven Oscars, including best picture. Over time, it 1:11:31 became a beloved favorite because people kept recommending it. You finish it feeling lighter, like the world is wider 1:11:38 again. 20th place, Good Fellas, 1990. 1:11:46 Good Fellas is a fast, electric ride into the world of organized crime told 1:11:51 with the feel of a true confession. A young man grows up idolizing gangsters, 1:11:56 then gets pulled deeper into a life of easy money, loyalty tests, and constant 1:12:02 danger. Martin Scorsesei directs with swagger and speed, using music and voice 1:12:08 over to make you feel the rush. Then the paranoia. The cast is stacked, but Joe Peshy 1:12:15 steals scenes with unpredictable menace. The film earned six Academy Award 1:12:20 nominations, and Peshi won best supporting actor. It was inspired by the true crime book Wise Guy, so it feels 1:12:28 lived in, not polished. Funny, tense, and hypnotic. It never 1:12:34 lets you forget that one bad choice can change everything. 1:12:41 19th place, Pulp Fiction, 1994. Pulp Fiction is a crime movie that feels 1:12:48 like a roller coaster made of dialogue, style, and surprise. It follows several 1:12:53 connected stories in Los Angeles, jumping between hitmen, hustlers, and ordinary people caught in wild 1:12:59 situations. Quinton Tarantino turns simple conversations into tension, then 1:13:04 flips the mood with dark humor and sudden danger. The structure is playful, but the scenes stay clear because the 1:13:11 characters are so vivid, and the stakes are real. The film won The Palm Door at 1:13:17 Khan, earned seven Oscar nominations, and won best original screenplay. Lines 1:13:22 became famous, careers reignited, and the movie helped reshape what modern crime films could look and sound like. 1:13:32 18th place, Rear Window, 1954. 1:13:37 Rear window turns one apartment into a whole world of suspense. After an injury 1:13:42 leaves him stuck inside, a photographer starts watching his neighbors through the courtyard. First out of boredom, 1:13:49 then with growing worry. When he suspects a crime, he has to convince others to believe him even though he 1:13:56 cannot simply go and check. Alfred Hitchcock builds tension from tiny 1:14:01 details, shifting lights, and long silences, making you feel like you are spying, too. Because the story stays 1:14:08 mostly in one room, every glance and shadow suddenly matters. James Stewart 1:14:14 and Grace Kelly keep it charming and tense at the same time. The film received four Academy Award nominations, 1:14:20 including directing, screenplay, sound, and cinematography. 1:14:26 17th place, Psycho, 1960. 1:14:31 Psycho is a thriller that changes the mood of a room the moment it starts. A 1:14:37 woman on the run stops at a lonely roadside motel, and what seems like a quick break turns into something deeply 1:14:44 unsettling. Alfred Hitchcock builds fear with simple things. A quiet smile, an empty hallway, 1:14:52 a door that should stay closed. The movie keeps you guessing because it refuses to stay in one lane for long. 1:14:59 Anthony Perkins gives a performance that feels polite on the surface but strange underneath. 1:15:06 Psycho received four Academy Award nominations, including best director and best supporting actress for Janet Lee. 1:15:13 It became a blueprint for modern suspense and still hits like a jolt. 1:15:20 16th place, Lawrence of Arabia, 1962. 1:15:25 Lawrence of Arabia is epic filmmaking on a grand scale with desert landscapes that feel endless and a hero who is both 1:15:33 fascinating and hard to read. The story follows a British officer sent into the 1:15:38 Arab revolt during World War I, and the mission grows into something bigger than anyone expects. David Lean directs with 1:15:46 sweeping images, but the movie also digs into pride, identity, and the cost of 1:15:52 war. Peter Oul became a star here, and Maurice Jar's music makes the journey 1:15:58 feel mythic. It earned 10 Oscar nominations and won seven, including 1:16:03 best picture and best director. Even today, it feels like a real adventure 1:16:08 carved into the sand. 15th place, The Godfather Part Two, 1:16:15 1974. The Godfather Part Two expands the saga in a daring way, showing how power is 1:16:23 built and how it can slowly poison the soul. The film moves between two timelines. One following a young man 1:16:30 rising from poverty into influence, the other following a leader trying to hold his empire together as trust begins to 1:16:37 crack. It feels like crime, family drama, and tragedy all at once. 1:16:43 Nominated for 11 Oscars, it won six and became the first sequel to win best 1:16:48 picture. Every scene feels like a negotiation where loyalty has a price 1:16:53 and silence can be a weapon. Watch it for the slow burn, the moral choices, 1:16:58 and the way every victory carries a cost. 14th place, Sunset Boulevard, 1950. 1:17:08 Sunset Boulevard is a sharp, darkly funny look at Hollywood dreams that refuse to die. A struggling writer 1:17:16 stumbles into the mansion of a former silent era star who still believes her comeback is one phone call away. What 1:17:24 begins as a lucky break turns into a trap of glamour, obsession, and desperation. 1:17:31 Billy Wilder makes every scene sparkle with wit, then tilts the mood into pure 1:17:36 unease, like a spotlight that will not switch off. The Crumbling House feels 1:17:42 like a character filled with old photos, long shadows, and false hope. The film 1:17:48 earned 11 Oscar nominations and won three, and its lines and images still 1:17:54 echo today. It is funny, chilling, and painfully human. 1:18:01 13th place, Apocalypse Now, 1979. 1:18:07 Apocalypse Now turns the Vietnam War into a feverdream about fear, power, and 1:18:13 the thin line between duty and obsession. A soldier is sent up river on 1:18:18 a secret mission, and each stop feels stranger and more haunting than the last. Francis Ford Copala builds the 1:18:26 film like a descent, mixing battle chaos with eerie quiet that makes you feel 1:18:31 trapped in the heat. The imagery is unforgettable and the sound pulls you into every rotor beat, distant shout and 1:18:39 sudden silence. It won the palm door at Khan, earned eight Oscar nominations and 1:18:45 won for cinematography and sound. It is intense, hypnotic, and still impossible 1:18:51 to shake once the credits roll. 12th place, Schindler's List, 1993. 1:19:00 Schindler's List is a powerful true story about ordinary people in extraordinary darkness and the small 1:19:07 choices that can save a life. A businessman arrives during World War II focused on profit, then slowly changes 1:19:14 as he witnesses the cruelty around him. Steven Spielberg tells the story with 1:19:20 restraint and humanity using black and white images that feel like history breathing. The film does not chase easy 1:19:27 emotion. It earns it through quiet moments, faces, and moral risk. A simple 1:19:34 theme on the soundtrack can break your heart without a single speech. It led the Oscars with 12 nominations and won 1:19:41 seven, including best picture and best director. Devastating yet deeply human. 1:19:48 It stays with you. 11th place, 12 Angry Men, 1957. 1:19:57 12 Angry Men proves you do not need action to create unbearable suspense. 12 1:20:03 Jurors enter a room ready to vote guilty, but one man asks for a real 1:20:08 discussion. And that single pause changes everything. As the heat rises 1:20:14 and tempers flare, it becomes a gripping test of patience, pride, and what 1:20:19 reasonable doubt truly means. Each vote forces hidden bias to surface, and the 1:20:24 debate turns into a battle for truth and fairness. The camera stays close, making 1:20:30 the room feel smaller and the pressure heavier with every minute. Directed by 1:20:35 Sydney Lum in his feature debut, it earned three Oscar nominations, including best picture. By the end, you 1:20:43 will question your own snap judgments, too. 10th place, Benhur, 1959. 1:20:52 Benhur is epic cinema built for the biggest screen with thunderous chariot 1:20:57 racing and a personal story that keeps the spectacle grounded. Set in the Roman 1:21:02 Empire, it follows a Jewish prince betrayed by a friend and pushed through years of hardship until a chance for 1:21:10 justice appears. Director William Wiler stages enormous scenes, but the film never forgets the 1:21:17 human cost behind pride and revenge. The arena race remains a benchmark for 1:21:23 action filmm packed with real stunts and razor sharp editing. Benhur won a record 1:21:30 11 Academy Awards, including best picture, and it still feels like a once-in-a- generation event. Its score, 1:21:38 costumes, and scale make Rome feel alive. 1:21:44 Ninth place, Singing in the Rain, 1952. 1:21:49 Singing in the Rain is Pure Joy, a musical that turns the messy birth of 1:21:54 sound movies into non-stop charm. A silent film star faces a new era where 1:22:01 voices matter as much as faces and suddenly every premiere feels like a highwire act. The film blends comedy, 1:22:09 romance, and dance numbers that still feel effortless. Jean Kelly's reign sequence is the 1:22:15 headline, but the whole cast keeps the energy bouncing from scene to scene, especially Donald O' Conor in the showy 1:22:22 comedy moments. It gently teases Hollywood while celebrating it and the songs land like pure sunshine. 1:22:30 Over time, it became one of the most beloved movie musicals ever. 1:22:36 Eighth place, The Rules of the Game, 1939. 1:22:42 The rules of the game looks like a classy weekend at a country estate, then reveals a razor sharp satire underneath. 1:22:50 As wealthy guests flirt, gossip, and chase distractions, their servants 1:22:55 mirror the same dramas below stairs. The camera glides through rooms, catching 1:23:01 secrets in the background, so you feel like you are discovering the truth by accident. Jean Renoir made it just 1:23:08 before World War II and early audiences were shocked by how clearly it exposed 1:23:13 hypocrisy. The film was even banned in France in 1939, then later restored and 1:23:20 praised as a landmark of cinema. It is funny, uneasy, and brilliant. Every 1:23:26 laugh has a shadow right behind it. 1:23:32 Seventh place, Tokyo Story, 1953. 1:23:38 Tokyo Story is a quiet, heartbreaking look at family love and the distance that time creates. An elderly couple 1:23:46 travels to the city to visit their grown children, expecting warmth, but finds 1:23:51 busy schedules and polite excuses instead. The film never raises its voice, yet 1:23:58 every small moment hits hard because it feels so true to real life. Director 1:24:05 Yasujudo Ozu keeps the camera calm and low, letting faces and pauses do the 1:24:11 work. What makes it powerful is the mix of disappointment and tenderness, 1:24:16 especially when one person shows simple kindness. It is gentle, honest, and unforgettable. 1:24:24 It makes you think about your own parents and time. It stays with you for days. 1:24:32 Sixth place, Seven Samurai, 1954. 1:24:37 Seven Samurai is the ultimate action adventure story, but it is also about community and courage when fear is 1:24:45 everywhere. A poor village hires seven wandering warriors to defend them from 1:24:50 bandits, and the training, planning, and battles build with incredible tension. 1:24:56 Director Akira Kurasawa makes each fighter feel distinct without slowing the pace, so you care about the people 1:25:03 as much as the fights. The final conflict is legendary, yet the film also 1:25:09 has humor, warmth, and hard lessons about sacrifice. It debuted 1:25:14 internationally at Venice and won the Silver Lion, helping it travel the world. Even today, it feels huge. You 1:25:23 can feel its influence in countless later epics. 1:25:28 Fifth place, Casablanca, 1942. Casablanca is the kind of classic that 1:25:35 feels timeless because it mixes romance, suspense, and sacrifice without ever losing its cool. In wartime Morocco, a 1:25:42 cynical club owner tries to stay neutral until the past walks through his door and forces him to choose between comfort 1:25:49 and doing the right thing. The dialogue is sharp, the atmosphere is smoky and elegant, and every scene builds toward 1:25:56 decisions that actually matter. Humphrey Bogart and Ingred Bergman make the emotions hit without melodrama, so the 1:26:03 tension feels personal and real. The film earned eight Oscar nominations and 1:26:08 won three, including best picture and best director. It is charming, heartbreaking, and quotable. The kind of 1:26:15 story that still feels like a living moment. Fourth place, 2001, A Space Odyssey, 1:26:24 1968. 2001, A Space Odyssey is not a typical 1:26:29 sci-fi adventure. It is a journey that feels mysterious, beautiful, and 1:26:34 unsettling. It starts with humanity's earliest questions, then leaps into the 1:26:40 age of space travel, where calm technology and silent corridors hide a growing sense of danger. Stanley Kubri 1:26:47 makes you feel the scale of the universe through sound, images, and long hypnotic 1:26:53 moments that pull you into awe. The movie changed what visual effects could look like and still feels ahead of its 1:27:00 time. It earned four Oscar nominations and one for special visual effects. 1:27:05 Whether you read it as prophecy or pure art, it invites you to stare into the 1:27:11 unknown and keep thinking long after it ends. 1:27:17 Third place, Vertigo, 1958. Vertigo starts like a stylish mystery, 1:27:24 then becomes a spell you cannot shake. A retired detective with a fear of heights 1:27:29 is hired to follow a woman who seems haunted by something only she can see. 1:27:34 San Francisco becomes a dreamlike maze of streets, towers, and sudden dread. 1:27:40 And every clue feels like it could be a trap. Alfred Hitchcock builds tension through color, music, and a slow, 1:27:47 tightening grip of obsession. The film introduced the famous dolly zoom used to 1:27:53 make the world warp and tilt with fear. James Stewart and Kim Novak make every 1:27:59 glance feel loaded with meaning. It is romantic, eerie, and hypnotic, and it 1:28:04 pulls you deeper each time you think you understand it. 1:28:10 Second place, Citizen Cane, 1941. 1:28:15 Citizen Cain feels like the moment movies learned a new language. It begins 1:28:20 with the death of a powerful tycoon and one mysterious word, then turns into a 1:28:26 hunt to understand who he truly was. The story shifts between witnesses, each 1:28:32 revealing a different face of the man behind the headlines. Orson Wells uses deep focus shots that let you explore 1:28:38 the frame as if you are searching for clues with your own eyes. It was nominated for nine Oscars and won best 1:28:46 original screenplay. More than a mystery, it is about power, ego, and the 1:28:51 childhood wound that never heals. Every new detail changes your opinion, and the 1:28:56 film stays entertaining even on repeat viewings. And in first place is The Godfather, 1:29:05 1972. The Godfather is a crime story that feels like a family saga where love and 1:29:13 danger sit at the same dinner table. A powerful New York clan tries to protect 1:29:18 its future as old rules clash with a changing world and every choice leaves a 1:29:23 mark. The movie moves with confidence, letting quiet conversations carry as 1:29:28 much weight as violence. The performances feel lived in and the atmosphere is rich without being flashy. 1:29:35 Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel, it became a huge success and helped redefine what a Hollywood epic 1:29:42 could be. At the Oscars, it won best picture, best actor, and best adapted 1:29:48 screenplay. It is tense, elegant, and endlessly rewatchable. 1:29:54 That's our top 100 best movies of all time.

I probably would have a difficult time coming up with a list of the 100 greatest movies and I’ve been watching films of at least 70 years. First, I disagree placing The Treasure of Sierra Madre at the bottom of the list. I’ve viewed it probably in the neighborhood 25+ times and never tire of it. In my opinion the film deserves to be in the top 25 movies. Also, as some have noted, you left out Wages of Fear, the Red Shoes, the Red Balloon, Repulsion, Charge of the Light Brigade, Gunga Din, Seven Beauties, Swept Away (Agnes Varda version), The Great Escape, Hombre, Valdez is Coming!, Room at the Top, Razor’s Edge, Blood and Sand, A Portrait of Jenny, Mr. Skeffington, King Rat …then there’s the original Oceans Eleven with the “rat pack”. These are just a few of the movies I’ve watched many times and never tire of their stories. Thank you for your 100 movies list. Appreciated 1 Reply 1 reply @DragonZarr 5 days ago If one has a #1 movie of all time it means that one hasn’t watched enough movies. I have a difficult time picking my favorite movie within genres. I’m an ancient 76 and what might have been my favorite movie when I was 26 certainly wouldn’t be my favorite movie today. To me movies are like food, it’s all a matter of taste. The longer it takes to acquire a taste the better one loves it when it is finally acquired. 10 Reply 3 replies @Brigadier2000 4 days ago I suggest that Paths of Glory with Kirk Douglass should be on your top 100 list. 4 Reply 4 replies @Charlie-b7o2b 4 days ago I didn't see Saving Private Ryan 4 Reply 1 reply @davidgoldstein1526 4 days ago What happened to Jaws and Young Frankenstein? 4 Reply 2 replies @stephenlacey653 6 days ago ET- close encounters- the deer hunter- where were they? 5 Reply 2 replies @randyacuna5643 4 days ago Try Saying my favorite 100 films . We all have our choices. All movie critics never choose the same 100. Way way too many great films to list as only 100. 3 Reply 1 reply @MrGadfly772 13 hours ago (edited) "Treasure of the Sierra madre" should have been much higher and "Titanic" shouldn't be on the list at all. Overall, this is a very good list, but it suffers from a modern bias. Many of the older films which rank lower on the list are much better films. You have included some films that appeal to modern audiences but should probably not be on this list. Beside the aforementioned "Titanic" (which is a horrible film) films that are questionable are "The Terminator 2" "Interstellar" " "Gladiator" and "Pulp Fiction". This latter film will raise eyebrows, but I think that the future will quickly forget the brief popularity of Quentin Tarantino as he will become discovered to be overly hyped by Harvey Weinstein and who really is a one trick pony. I disagree with the rankings, but I am pleased with the list overall and very impressed that you included foreign films which deserve the recognition that you have given them! Reply @oldpoet313 4 days ago I totally agree with the list(though the narration odmf simmaries lacks).

Reply @davkatjenn 3 days ago Understanding that there are no rights and wrongs on lists, that it is all subjective and that the only reason that we have lists is to generate interest and conversation in a medium that we all love, here is my list of my favorite movies..... 1. Casablance 2. Schindler's List 3. To Kill a Mockingbird 4. Roman Holiday 5. Sunset Boulevard 6. Singin in the Rain 7. The Wizard of Oz 8. The Bridge on the River Kwai 9. Rear Window 10.

There's a genuine bottleneck at the top, with popular favorites butting heads with classics. I would move Star Wars closer to the top; it enjoys a three way tie with Citizen Kane and Seven Samurai as one of the most influential films ever made. The best animated film of all time also belongs in the top ten, although I honestly don't know what that would be. I guess Snow White and Seven Dwarfs is the most influential, but is it really more entertaining than the Lion King or Aladdin or Princess Mononoke?

But when you do a top 100, it should be based on how good it is, right now. Is it still great and worth watching? Wizard of Oz, for instance, changed cinema but no one has topped it and it's still utterly enjoyable to this day. Very few people want to sit through the Passion of Joan of Arc. Reply @tonym994 5 days ago (edited) 'BONNIE & CLYDE'(1967) not only got screwed here, but you gave 'The WILD BUNCH'(1969)(one of my favorite films), the very accolade which Authur Penn's classic rightly earned. it's slo-mo paved the way (for good or ill) for that film, and Tarantino would tell you, that there's a direct link to every gangster film such as 'Pulp Fiction', which simply couldn't have existed w/ out 'Bonnie & Clyde,' which is the first American film to show audiences what artillery really does (makes them bleed out, simply) to a human body, changing screen violence forever. 2 years later, Sam Peckinpah contacted WB's from Mexico, to have a print of 'BONNIE & CLYDE' sent down to the set. it's influence is seen to this day, every goddam time a director wishes to add intensity (usually failing) to a scene where someone is shot, by setting it in slo-mo, which has been done to death (no pun intended)since 1967! show me an American film before '67 which has a shooting in slo-mo. none exist. Penn used it very briefly in 'the left handed gun' Gore Vidal's Billy the Kid story, which Penn picked up from Kurosawa. too many films & TV shows to count (but probably 1,000), used this device which Penn used only at the film's end, along w/ real time, and other speeds, not simply slo-mo. Peckinpah came along and used slo-mo for nearly every shooting in 'the WILD BUNCH'. he and Coppola said aloud, that 'BONNIE & CLYDE' had influenced them. there's BBC (before 'Bonnie & Clyde'), and ABC, (after 'Bonnie & Clyde'). 1 Reply 2 replies @edwardhayes6113 3 days ago The naked island to bad no one know this great film Tampopo the best good movie of all time Reply @anairenemartinez165 1 day ago I really have no idea how you compile a list from 100 to 1.

When a violent, no good plot movie like “No Country For Old Men” is on this list instead of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”, it’s a sad day. 1 Reply 1 reply @bowlineobama 6 days ago Citizen Kane and Casablanca should be 1, and you forgot Cool Hand Luke, and there are so many others. 2 Reply @aaronhoward7875 2 days ago List is invalid without Kevin Costner's timeless masterpiece, 'Waterworld' Reply 2 replies @Talks-Movies 5 days ago Star Wars A New Hope on 22nd!!
