Held #1 for exactly 50 years before Vertigo took it in 2012
04
Tokyo Story
05
In the Mood for Love
06
2001: A Space Odyssey

Beau travail
For the record, this is the correct Claire Denis pick over Trouble Every Day
08
Mulholland Dr.
09
Man with a Movie Camera
No actors, no story cards, just a city and a camera. Still feels modern.
10
Singin' in the Rain

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

The Godfather
13
La Règle du jeu
Same Renoir that got booed at its own premiere. Nobody's booing now.

Cléo from 5 to 7
15
The Searchers
The western critics keep insisting is actually about something darker than a rescue mission
16
Meshes of the Afternoon
17
Close-Up
A real fraud case reenacted by the real people involved, Kiarostami blurring documentary and fiction before it was a genre

The only film here that's also a famous disaster story about its own production

Seven Samurai
