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)

8.Bicycle Thieves(1948,Vitorio De Sicca)

IMHO, "Raging Bull" is better than "Goodfellas", and "The Godfather" certainly beats them both.

1)A Clockwork Orange
2)The Godfather
3)Apocalypse Now
4)Taxi Driver
5)2001: A Space Odyssey
6)The Godfather II
7)Reservoir Dogs
8)Raging Bull
9)Dr. Strangelove
10)On The Waterfront

IDK, Last Tango in Paris is awe inspiring and is truly a landmark of film. It's hard to decide where to put it, I mean, it may be the best film I've ever seen. It really gets it right, and somehow maintains a high degree of sophistication. It has class. It's not cheap or sleazy. The title itself and the way it relates to the story is the work of a true artist.
