What do you think are the best movies ever made?
#30
In terms of listing "greatest movie ever made" it is a hard task to narrow down...

I get that we a re all different, and what I may have found impressive and might simply not translate to anyone else.
Is my choice going to based upon how I received the impact of the story itself, or the technical superb production, the artful and moving acting, or something else?

Each of my entries might have a lot to do with the time of my life when I experienced the movie, the pertinence to my personal interests and biases, or even what happed around the movie itself...

Here's an admittedly short list which I feel are movies I would strongly recommend to someone "like me:"
(some of these are "subtitled" films not in English... I know many people don't like those for many valid reasons -  but I don't exclude them.)

2001 a Space Odyssey
Seven Days in May
The Maltese Falcon
Treasure of Sierra Madre
12 Angry Men
Ben Hur
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Fail Safe
Moby Dick
Lawrence of Arabia
Gone with the Wind
Jason and the Argonauts
It! The Terror from Beyond Space
The Mummy
The Ten Commandments
The Exorcist
The Godfather
Key Largo
Spartacus
Dracula
Dune
Beckett
The Lion in Winter
Frankenstein
Cleopatra
Rocky
Fantastic Planet
The Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
The Omen
Rashomon
Sanjuro
Yojimbo
Seven Samurai
Godzilla
Soylent Green
Alien
Star Wars

Just for starters... but these are just mine... mileage may vary.  And then there are "TV" movies which span several days of viewing.... I'll leave those out for now.
