This is possibly the first time I have put an ordered list into this thread. However, that is only because I spent some time writing an article for my (now defunct) website with explanations for each inclusion. I would post it here but, at 25,197 characters, it's too long!

10. if….
9. Repulsion
8. The Wicker Man
7. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
6. The Third Man
5. Brazil
4. Kind Hearts and Coronets
3. The Red Shoes
2. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
1. Don't Look Now

I've removed quite a lot from the original article and posted it as a blog entry so, if you're interested, the expanded list is here:

I haven't separated into genre in this case because a great film is a great film.

I'm guessing that's John Boulting's 1947 film and not Rowan Joffe's good, but not great, remake.
