This is a really old list from 2010/2011 which was the last time I updated my Top 200 list. I'll be updating this when I finally recompile my top 200 list again.

In order in which they came out... Casablanca, All About Eve, Lawrence of Arabia, The French Connection, The Godfather, The Sting, The Godfather II, Cuckoo's Nest, Annie Hall, Silence of the Lambs, Unforgiven, Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Gladiator, ROTK, The Departed, No Country and The Hurt Locker. I still haven't seen a lot, though.If I were to narrow it down to the very absolute best, I'd say 1) Lawrence of Arabia2) Godfather II3) Casablanca4) Schindler's List5) ROTK
