The 25 Greatest American Films

I love movie lists.  They're a lot of fun and usually spark some good-natured debates.  The BBC recently asked a group of international film critics--which included critics from magazines, newspapers, television and online--to create lists of the 10 movies they felt were the greatest in American cinema.  They then used those to create a list of 100 films using a point system giving 10 points for a #1 pick down to 1 point for a #10 pick.  Here are the top 25 with links to our catalog:

25. Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989)
24. The Apartment (Billy Wilder, 1960)
23. Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)
22. Greed (Erich von Stroheim, 1924)
21. Mulholland Drive (David Lynch, 2001)
20. Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese, 1990)
19. Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976)
18. City Lights (Charlie Chaplin, 1931)
17. The Gold Rush (Charlie Chaplin, 1925)
16. McCabe & Mrs Miller (Robert Altman, 1971)
15. The Best Years of Our Lives (William Wyler, 1946)
14. Nashville (Robert Altman, 1975)
13. North by Northwest (Alfred Hitchcock, 1959)
12. Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974)
11. The Magnificent Ambersons (Orson Welles, 1942)
10. The Godfather Part II (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974)
9. Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942)
8. Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)
7. Singin’ in the Rain (Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, 1952)
6. Sunrise (FW Murnau, 1927)
5. The Searchers (John Ford, 1956)
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
3. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)
2. The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972)
1. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)

A few of the movies are out-of-print or just not available on DVD.  Here's the page where they break-down the top 25, and this page has the whole top 100 list.  The list has already generated talk online for notable omissions like no films by the Coen Brothers or Wes Anderson.  What do you think?  How many of these films have you watched?  Any of your favorites not make the cut?
