5) Star Wars Trilogy - Nobody ever saw anything like it before.
4) Braveheart - Well damn, it just made you want to kill English
3) Metropolis - Simply the first epic ever and showed the first glimpse of what movies could do.
2) 2001 Space Odyssey - The greatest vision ever put to film.
1) Miller's Crossing - The Coen brothers best, and possibly least known movie. Every scene is remarkable and artfully shot. A movie oil painting that captured both the grit and romantic aspects of classic 1920's and 30's gangsters. John Turturro and Gabriel Bryne's best performances ever with a frighteningly funny turn by Coen brothers favorite, John Polito.
Honorable Mentions - Citizen Kane, Jaws, His Girl Friday, Casablanca, Taxi Driver, The Seventh Seal, The Manchurian Candidate, The Seven Samurai and Rashomon.
