1. The Godfather (1972)
2. The Jazz Singer (1927)
3. Rashomon (1950)
4. Breathless (1960)
5. Psycho (1960)
6. Citizan Kane (1941)
7. Star Wars (1977)
8. M (1931)
9.Central Station (199
10. Rear Window (1954)

10 really aint enough so here's some more

- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (1966)
- GoodFellas (1990)
- Infernal Affairs (2002)
- A Bittersweet Life (2005)
- The Public Enemy (1931)
- Raging Bull (1980)
- Seven Samurai (1954)
- In The Mood For Love (2000)
- Oldboy (2003)
- The Terminator (1984)
- Training Day (2001)
- The Deer Hunter (197

See them all!!

I now fully appreciate that first list. I took a History of Film class this spring. Those are big movies in history. M is really good. I didn't get to seeall of those on the list because we had limited time in class, but I loved that class and got to watch a lot of great movies. I think The Jazz Singer would bea waste of time, but for the history behind it I guess it would be good to watch. First "Talkie" with Al Jolson for those that don't know

 

[that guy]

Titanic should be in those lists

I think as a man it is a must for me to have seen The Godfather Part I & II. It deals with some of the most complex issues that we will ever face.
