I am bored of lists that include only American(and,furthermore mostly new ones) films and ignore so many masterpieces,so I decide to make another poll,which I think will be more serious,will include most of the great movies(especially the foreign ones) and will be more representitive of the history of cinema.So,if you want to see that list(maybe it will be a top 100)post your top 10 in one of my topics.I'll start with mine:

1.Goodfellas(1990,Martin Scorsese)
2.Stalker(1979,Andrei Tarkovsky)
3.Raging Bull(1980,Martin Scorsese)
4.Once Upon a Time in the West(1968,Sergio Leone)
5.Harakiri(1962,Masaki Kobayashi)
6.Persona(1966,Ingmar Bergman)
7.Lawrence of Arabia(1962,David Lean)
8.Bicycle Thieves(1948,Vitorio De Sicca)
9.The Godfather(1972,Francis Ford Coppola)
10.2046(2004,Wong Kar-Wai)

I hope that a lot of people will join my poll!

I'd like to list a few films that I've seen and struck me as timeless masterpieces and since we're on the board for Ordet, I think it would be most appropriate to start with two movies which I find very similar in their themes with Ordet:

1. The Seventh Seal( 1957, Ingmar Bergman)
2.The Sacrifice( 86, Tarkovsky)
3. Novecento(76, Bernardo Bertolucci)
4.The Conformist( Bertolucci, 70)
5.The Sheltering Sky( Bertolucci, 90)
6. La luna( Bertolucci, 79)
7.Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to stop carrying and love the bom( Stanley Kubrick, 1964)
8. Eyes Wide Shut( Kubrick, 99)
9.To Kill a Mocking Bird(Robert Mulligan, 1962)
10.Love and Death( Woody Allen, 1975)
