Top 10 films(poll)


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

4-The Shining/2001: A Space Odyssey/Dr. Strangelove (US, US, US)
5-Bullitt/Enter the Dragon (US, China)
6-Fahrenheit 451 (UK)
7-Stalker/Solaris (USSR)
8-There Will Be Blood (US)
9-Only Lovers Left Alive (US)
10-Le Trou/Dersu Uzala/Jeremiah Johnson (France, USSR/Japan, US)

If you can't tell, I like my Kubrick (all except Lolita). The countries represented here are Germany, UK, US, USSR, Japan, France, and China. I want to add The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly or The Battle of Algiers to include Italy! I also won't forget Mexico with Pan's Labyrinth and Sin Nombre. And, Brazil's City of God. I also selected these films based on their fantastic music scores as well. Stalker is one of my absolute favorites and is just visually fantastic, especially when you consider that the cast/crew paid the ultimate price due to the hazardous filming conditions.
