I'm seeing more original lists on this thread than we usually get. Maybe there's hope for this board.
By "original" I do mean "honest, credible" as opposed to the people who just copy some movie critic's list.
I congratulate you.
When I think of "great" films, I leave out the "great comedies" from the very top to make room for more meaningful films.
My list:
1. King of Kings 1927
2. Seven Samurai 1954
3. Jungle Fighters 1961
4. Union Pacific 1939
5. D.O.A. 1950
6. Lord of the Rings trilogy 2001-2003, I still consider one film
7. 49th Parallel 1941
8. King of Kings 1961
9. Missing 1982
10. Ride the High Country 1962
11. Shane 1953
12. The Bridges at Toko Ri 1954
13. Secret Agent 1936
14. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
15. Shake Hands With the Devil 1959
16. Then There Were Three 1961
17. The Stranger 1946
18. All Quiet on the Western Front 1930
19. Platoon 1986
20. Nankyoku Monogatari 1983
21. The Bravados 1948
22. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World 2003
23. Troy 2004
With all the rewatches I don't Know which were last.

Ha ha! Nope, I'm from Texas, currently living in New Mexico. I started watching Eddie Muller's Noir Alley series on TCM last fall and have been devouring noirs and B crime pictures from the '40s and '50s since then. So many of them, made on the cheap as second features and filler, can really pack a punch. Studio execs and the Production Code didn't keep quite so close a watch on what they considered negligible films. This gave screen writers and directors a little more freedom to express themselves. They are surprisingly good.

But TCM plays a LOT of stuff you can't even find online, and they play some really far-out stuff after midnight!
Speaking of "The Code", have you seen Dodsworth? I gave it a 10/10 (and I rarely do that), and it was right before "The Code" and it was very surprising to watch it and not realize there was a time of no censorship. Walter Huston is great, but the movie is so well-written, just a great experience.
