Remake of his French crime caper film “Rififi” by one time blacklisted director Jules Dassin.

94.

Goodfellas

Has Ray Liotta done anything remotely good since? De Niro, Pesci and reunite for a classic gangster picture.

93.

Shawshank Redemption

Ranked #1 on IMDB top 250 movies. Flopped at the theater. The smartest, most beautiful girl in the world loves this film so who am I to argue? About a banker who gets convicted of murdering his wife, though he claims his innocence.

92.

Something Wild

Cult film directed by Jonathon Demme. Charlie Driggs leaves a café without paying the bill. Lulu is the only one who notices and confronts. That all leads to an adventure.

91.

Ben-Hur

Don’t we have enough “Ben-Hur” films? Well, pretty soon there will be another. Can’t top the magic WIlliam Wyler and Charlton Heston created.

90.

Taxi Driver

De Niro in probably his most iconic role. Martin Scorsese gave him the platform and De Niro mugged his way to fame as the psychotic Travis Bickle.

89.

The French Connection

French gangsters and Gene Hackman. Can you believe Friedkin didn’t want to cast Gene Hackman? Hackman helped the film win five Academy Awards. You’re welcome, Bill.

87.

The Ox-Bow Incident

Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan ride into town and are suspected of murdering a rancher.

Clint went to Italy when his acting career in America was failing and found Sergio Leone and in the process became Clint Eastwood.

84.

The Wild Bunch

82.

The Red Shoes

Directed by Michael Powell and starring Moira Shearer. About a dancer who gets a job in the ballet. A visual masterpiece.

81.

Sleeper

Woody Allen said he distrusted technology. The scenes where he is being overwhelmed by the Do-it-All desk feels more like he was channeling Buster Keaton than being Woody Allen.

80.

Birth of a Nation

Antiquated ideas, innovative filmmaker.

79.

The Outside Man

A hitman is sent to kill a mob boss. Roy Scheider is sent to kill him. Not a lot of dialogue but who needs dial0gue when you have Jean-Louis Trintignant and Roy Scheider.

78.

77.

Laurence Olivier’s best Shakespearian performance. A tour de force of the crippled king.

The New Wave begins and Jean-Paul Belmondo becomes a star and so did director Jean-Luc Godard and the man who made it all possible? Francois Truffaut.

74.

World War II film directed by David Lean and starring William Holden and Alec Guiness. Big hit that was loosely based on the building of one of the railway bridges over the Mae Klong.

73.

City Lights

Charlie Chaplin in the sound era. The Little Tramp character was still reluctant to talk and decided not to.

71.

Based on the Akira Kurosawa film The Seven Samurai, the setting was changed to the American west. Featuring a who’s who of 60s actors, there’s only one word to describe this film – MASTERPIECE.

7o.

The Lion in the Winter

Keep up with Peter O’Toole on screen? Yes, she did. If you didn’t have respect for her before watching this film, you will when you see her performance.

69.

The Wizard of Oz

Judy Garland’s off to the wizard. Victor Fleming directed this and Gone With the Wind in 1939.

68.

Chinatown

Jack Nicholson goers in search of why LA has no water and discovers Faye Dunaway’s family history is a bit murky. The first of three Roman Polanski films.

67.

How many can name the director of Casablanca without looking at the poster above? Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman equaled film history.

66.

M

Who knew Peter Lorre could do creepy?

65.

Good Neighbor Sam

Jack Lemmon is a genius. Typical 60s comedy style wise. Lemmon is one of the most underappreciated actors of all time.

64.

Cleopatra

A spectacle? Notorious? Overshadowed by the press Burton and Taylor got? Yes but a very good film.

63.

An American in Paris

Gene Kelly’s acting and filmmaking abilities are overshadowed by his dancing abilities. He was a very good actor.

Gene Kelly could dance, sure, but he was far from one dimensional. He was a really good actor and, as time passed, began to play a bigger role in the creation of his films.

62.

Gone with the Wind

Clark Gable didn’t give a damn. Producer David Selznick obsessed and Alfred Hitchcock sulked because of the time, effort and resources Selznick put into the film.

61.

Mutiny on the Bounty

Charles Laughton is downright unlikable as Captain Bligh, brilliantly o. Clark Gable met Laughton’s scene chewing and thrived. Lavish MGM spectacle helmed by famed producer Irving Thalberg.

60.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Python’s first feature, thanks in no large part to George Harrison. Classic Monty Python.

59.

Paths of Glory

Kirk Douglas defends soldiers in court who refuse to continue a suicide attack.

58

Becket

Richard Burton as Thomas Becket and Peter O’Toole again plays Henry II. Two titans of acting. Who cares if they were drunk half of the time?

57.

Stardust Memories

Woody Allen’s poison pen love letter to the movie business. Not as famous as Billy Wilder’s but just as good.

56.

On the Waterfront

Union violence and corruption in the longshoremen. Brando mumbles, everyone drools and proclaims him a genius.

55.

Some Like It Hot

Billy Wilder again. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis witness the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and fear for their life. They dress up as women and moonlight with a female band.

54.

Red Dust

1932 MGM film, Gable and Harlow, directed by Victor Fleming. There’s that man again. Someone ought to write a biography on him.

53.

The Great Escape

Go ahead. Whistle Leonard Bernstein’s theme. You know you want to. The film that Steve McQueen became a star.

52.

Hud

Did Paul Newman make a bad film? No. Newman, for once, is a bad boy.

51.

Gunga Din

Adventure comedy. Growing more and more obscure. Starring Cary Grant.

50.

The Great Race

Slapstick comedy about a race around the world. You could power the entire world on the energy Jack Lemmon was exuding.

49.

Irma la Douce

Billy Wilder, again. If I had finished it, you would have seen me list him as the greatest director ever. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. How could this film fail.

48.

The Night of the Iguana

Richard Burton and Ava Gardner star in this adaptation of a Tennessee Wiliams play. Richard Burton tries to keep his wits in a bus full of women.

47.

Joy House

Alain Delon goes on the run after sleeping with a gangster’s wife. He seeks shelter in the wrong house.

46.

Bringing up Baby

Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn bring the sparks in this screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks. Baby is a leopard, by the way.

45.

Bonnie and Clyde

Violence on the screen was finally ramped up a notch. First film to show people getting shot. Still a good film, although history has dulled the revolutionary aspects.

44.

Singin’ in the Rain

Gene Kelly started to sit in the director’s chair more and more. The results speak for themselves.

43.

Rosemary’s Baby

Roman Polanski’s first foray into American cinema. It speaks for itself.

42.

The Night of The Hunter

The only film Charles Laughton directed. Why, you ask? Good question. Robert Mitchum is creepy.

41.

The Big Sleep

Bogart and Bacall together for the first time. Directed by Howard Hawks.

40.

Metropolis

The most expensive silent film ever made. Fritz Lang fired the first shot for the Expressionist movement.

39.

Psycho

Janet Leigh, two bras and a murder.

38.

High Noon

Gary Cooper’s most praised film. He faces off in the center of town against several bad guy.

37.

The Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa’s masterpiece.

36.

To Catch a Thief

Cary Grant, Grace Kelly do the Hitchcock dance.

35.

The Collector

Terrence Stamp loves to collect beautiful things. Samantha Eggar is his next prize.

34.

His Girl Friday

Long script? Just talk fast.

33.

The Silence

Two sisters, one dying. Another Bergman comedy.

32

Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Bogart is brilliant. John Huston does something few have, be the boss of their dad. In his case, Walter Huston.

31.

A Letter to Three Wives

A woman mails a letter to three women saying she left town with one of their husbands. Hate to be the guy who had to work over that day.

30.

The Gold Rush

The film Chaplin wanted to be remembered for. Mission accomplished. Written, directed, produced, starring and music by Charlie Chaplin.

29.

Sleuth

If you liked the remake, you’ll like this one more. Joseph Mankiewicz was a master . The duel between Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine is a cinematic masterpiece.

28.

was a

Charade

Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn together finally. What more motivation do you need to see it?

27.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

A group of people attempt to eat dinner and constantly get interrupted. Not much of a movie, you say? You obviously haven’t seen Bunuel.

26.

It Happened One Night

The first film to sweep the Oscars in all the major categories.

25.

The Great Dictator

Chaplin speaks and shows us what a looney Hitler was. Everyone knew it in hindsight but, at that time, Hitler had more allies than some care to admit.

24.

All About Eve

Joseph Mankiewicz’s brilliant battle pitting an aging actress against an upstart. Joseph Mankiewicz, go forth and rent his movies.

23.

Peeping Tom

Michael Powell’s best film. The stigma from it seriously damaged his career. Well ahead of its time.

22.

Inherit the Wind

Spencer Tracy and Predric March square off. Pure cinema magic.

21.

Persona

Bergman and his silliness. Dark picture about the lines of two women’s personalities being blurred.

20.

Bananas

Another film that the style makes it very important. Show me another film that was doing a political satire like this one. You won’t find it in 1972.

19.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton as George and Martha. Watch the sparks fly.

18.

Django Unchained

Tarantino’s best film, to date, at least. Christoph Waltz is a master.

17.

The Maltese Falcon

You know that cocaine was in the falcon, right? One of two collaborations with John Huston on this list for Bogart.

16.

Diabolique

Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterpiece about the mistress and the wife who conspire to murder the man in their life. Teach him to be an ass.

15.

Duck Soup, Animal Crackers, Horse Feathers

A career of greatness. To pick one film would be akin to picking your favorite child.

14.

Sunset Boulevard

Billy Wilder’s poison pen love letter to the movie business.

13.

Repulsion

The best psychological suspense film ever. Directed by Roman Polanski. See it.

12.

Annie Hall

If you only watched Annie Hall and didn’t watch another Woody Allen film, you’d be missing a whole lot.

11.

The Getaway

Steve McQueen gets out of jail. Ali McGraw sleeps with a gangster to make that happen and McQueen has to rob a bank in return for being sprung from jail. Sucks to him.

10.

Take the Money and Run

Too high on the list? No! Shot in a pseudo-documentary style that hadn’t been done to that point. Style is what leads this film to such rarified air.

9.

Rear Window

Voyeurism, unable to move freely, witnesses a murder. Hitchcock was brilliant at putting spices into the stew. James Stewart was a better actor than you realize as well.

8.

A Clockwork Orange

Why didn’t Malcolm McDowell win an Academy Award for his portrayal of Alex DeLarge? McDowell shines. It’s too bad he never really followed it up.

7.

The Apartment

Comedy/drama. Jack Lemmon/Shirley MacLaine and the always brilliant Billy Wilder. Masterpiece. It sits in the same niche as It Happened One Night, only better.

6.

Touch of Evil

I am not a big Orson Welles fan. He only had himself to blame for sabotaging his career. Touch of Evil was the one time he got it right. Charlton Heston is brilliant in the lead.

5.

Le Samourai

Alain Delon’s best film. Director Jean-Pierre Melville crafted a masterpiece. Very French.

4.

North by Northwest

The top four films are almost interchangeable. Cary Grant is one of the best actors of all time. This was Hitchcock at his pinnacle.

3.

Wages of Fear

Yves Montand was an underrated actor. Sure, he could sing but Wages of Fear proved his depth as an actor and the brilliance of director Henri-Georges Clouzot.

2.

Ocean’s Eleven

There is only one Ocean’s Eleven and it was the 1960 original. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr. all could run rings around Clooney and his lot.

1.

Bullitt

By now, if you’ve hung around this site long enough, number one should not be much of a surprise. Bullitt is the coolest film ever made, even the credit sequences are cool. It masks the fact that the Ross/Renick fiasco is convoluted and the plot is rather mundane. It doesn’t matter. Lalo Schifrin’s score is one of the best and McQueen is an Icon in the truest sense.
