Citizen Kane will always be in the number one spot, the concept and presentation are without equal. You fail to mention other great Welles films on your list such as “Touch of Evil” and “The Third Man”. tHe following films I disagree and feel they are on your list to placate the masses, many great films are missing such as “The English Patient”, “Barton Fink”, “Pitch Black” , “The Good , The Bad and the Ugly” ( it’s really an American film, not Italian per se )to name a few. The trash on your list include “Tootsie” ( any actor could have pulled this off, “Victor Victoria ” was better ), “Saving Private Ryan” ( a grandiose film knock-off of the “Four Sullivans” very Hollywoodish. I would raise “Shawshank Redemption” and “Unforgven” much higher. I would have included “Swingblade”.Why “Titanic” is on there is purely box office success,very little thought went into that film. “Ben Hur” needs to be higher, “Khartoum” needs to be there. Where is “Lion in Winter”? Where finally is any horror represented like Jack Nicholson’s “The Shining” or Jamie Lee Curtis’s first “Halloween”. I do appreciate your effort and thought…….Aragorn
