Vertigo has always been one of my favorite James Stewart films. It's nice to see a good conservative replace the leftist Orson Wells for the best film of all time.

Never heard of most of them and can’t stand the ones I have heard of.

2001 Space Odyssey: Please. Not unless you took a whole lot of acid and watched in the theaters in the 60s. Sure it captured the wonders of space travel and future potential of computers but the silly monolith creation story and the 15+ minute acid trip light show and floating baby makes watching the whole movie painful.
Apocalypse Now: More pretentious crap. Excluding the Napalm in the morning scene everything about this movie was beyond ridiculous. An Army Colonel that forms a cult that does nothing but dance around all day and kill people and then just gives up and lets himself be killed is just a beyond stupid premise. It is also the first movie to portray American soldiers as nothing but sexed crazed psychopathic killers.
With that said, Army of Darkness should be in the top ten

I saw the movie BREATHLESS #13, not long ago.
All I can say is I WANT TWO HOURS OF MY LIFE BACK, wasted on this piece of European dreck!

Vertigo and North by Northwest, two of the best by Hitchcock.
Citizen Kane? Good story line but weird production.

As for cinematic innovation, Wells was a master with Citizen Kane.

I’ve never liked “Citizen Kane”, so I’m glad to see this, but “Apocalypse Now”? That movie is dreadful, along with some others.

What kind of garbage list of "greatest films" is this?
I haven't even heard of 2/3 of the films in this list. Ridiculous...
