I did not want to list any of my own favorites...I am interested in what other people like. I had Taxi Driver before I had a DVD player...when I could only play it on my computer...I've seen that so many times and knew I would want a permanent copy.Others on your list would be on mine as well, Rosemary's Baby and the Day the Earth Stood Still, to name two.
Others, however, are clearly not on my list. I saw Talk to Her in the theater and once is enough. Best in Show was funny but I don't feel compelled to watch it again.
OTOH, nobody that I've seen has included Fawlty Towers. This is still as funny to me as anything I've ever seen, and I have it all on videotape.
Of course the main value of such a list lies in the movies I know little about, which can send me off into new directions.
As far as Godard, I had Alphaville, again before I even had a DVD player. I don't know why I am so fond of this bizarre work, but I am.
