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

Great choices and it is good to see that you put Kobayashi and Bergman in close proximity with eachother; though for me they are right at the top.

Your list is full of classics that are on essentially everyone's list. That point can be argued to counter newer American films. Good cinema is good cinema, it doesn't matter where it's made.
