Fabulous list Tosh!, agree with all...glad to see Head in there...though I'm surprised to see no Teshigahara or Tarkovsky...or Sunset Boulevard or Eraserhead....but superb rundown nonetheless....
I'm not sure which pictures on your list I would trade out, but my list would overlap yours with the addition of The Black Cat (Edgar G. Ulmer, 1934,) Shock Corridor (Samuel Fuller, 1963,) Akasen Chitai/Red Light District (Mizoguchi Kenji, 1956,) Bigger Than Life (Nicholas Ray, 1956,) I Walked With a Zombie (Jacques Tourneur, 1942,) and Anatahan (Josef von Sternberg, 1953.)
For a week now, I’ve been trying to come to terms with the (what I now see as clearly misguided) idea that “Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles” was the greatest film of all time. Good to know that “Fantômas” actually holds that distinguished title. Great (and definitive, no question about it) list Tosh—many of my favorites too, and several that I’ve yet to see, but will now be seeking out.

Great list, Tosh. I disliked the S&S list & much prefer yours. Cinema!
