I had originally been limiting this to exactly 250, but decided that was silly, so this is now all of my 5-star rated films ranked. This is only a rough ranking, and many of the films outside of the top 100 could easily fall into it on some days, but I'm going to leave it as is for now. I've overwritten my previous top 250, but my original 100 favorite can be found here.

The following entries include more than one film:

*Die Nibelungen: Siegfried also includes Die Nibelungen: Kriemhild's Revenge

*Samuria 1 includes the entire Samurai Trilogy

*Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring includes the entire extended trilogy
