Top 50 Movies of All Time

This is a definitive list of the best movies ever made. Of course it's not, these are just 50 movies that mean a lot to me. I have tried not to pick multiple films from the same director so there will obviously be some big movies missing. I hope sharing this will lead to me discovering more films, ultimately giving me a greater appreciation for the art of filmmaking.

This list is in A-Z. I have highlighted my top 10 with a gold medal.

I welcome comments and recommendations for films I've missed.
