The only one I haven't seen is Chasing Amy, and it's really too hard to choose between others.  2001 is the one I've seen the most times, but there are various ones that I've seen many times.

The only one I was disappointed with is Eyes Wide Shut. 

I guess 2001 has been too important to me since I was a child not to vote for even though I have sort of  a desire to go with Wild Strawberries or Dancer in the Dark.  No, I'll go with Wild Strawberries.

Voted for Rebecca, I really love that movie. Never been a fan of Godfather(s).

I missed a lot of the classics, unfortunately.

I like every movie I've seen out of these (most), except for two. What the hell are those Kevin Smiths films doing on a nice list like this?

Mulholland Drive and Strawberry Place. The former got my vote.

I was expecting some comment like that beforehand, lol. The truth is that while Kevin Smith has put out some really crappy movies throughout his career, and he's probably not a proficient director, he has indeed proven to be a hell of a writer. Clerks and Chasing Amy to me are proof of that. The dialogues are clever, sharp, funny, and the characters of both movies are memorable. But of course, to each his own.

I've only seen a small handful of those.  Out of the ones I've seen, I'm going with Psycho.

Mulholland Dr.? He$%, no. 

Tough call between Donnie Darko, Godfather, and To Kill ... TK -> DD ... GF ... 

The final answer is: Godfather, because I want to watch it again. I just really like DeNiro's character, the young Vito. Smart, generous, understanding ... . The plot of Donnie Darko is easy to digest. To Kill ... is a bit ... no, it's quite ... turning-off on occasions, I must admit.

2001! Probably my favourite movie of all time along with the LOTR movies.

Speaking of Clerks, have you all people seen the original ending of Clerks? If not, here it is. Do not miss this.

Zelig is brilliant, and Rashomon, not a huge fan of much of the others on list.   I did just watch The Great Escape which I love.

Great list. I love 2001, I think Apocalypse Now should be on the list to, 'cause is one of my favorites. 

But I voted for Citizen Kane, which is maybe the most elaborated movie at the time. It's impressive how much the movie pushed all boundaries, right?
