Agreed. Though not my favorite film, it is in my top 5. I do think it is the best overall film ever made.....The Godfather.

I disagree with some of the list though....but...duh. We all will.

I loved Forrest Gump. I didn't know the tomatometer was in the 70's. Kinda shocked. Now lets do a list of the films that didn't win an award and see which list is better.

I am guessing the non best picture awards would reign supreme.

Yep, I bet the non-Oscar winners list would be better too.
They snob so much it's not funny. The Golden Globes are much better.

I've always thought Goodfella's was a better gangster movie. More real, but really it's like comparing Michealangelo to Da Vinci. Both masterpieces. I was actually a little surprised they put "Sunrise" in there that high. When I think F.W. Murnau I always think "Nosferatu". Oh and Casablana as only the 10th best movie of all-time come on.

If the list was a full eighty. It would probably be hard to get a better top 40 among American films IMO.
