[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;46031468][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture"]Here's a list for all the Best Picture Winners and Nominees for the Academy Awards.[/URL]

I know that mostly covers American cinema and it still misses out on brilliant films that never received nominations, but it's a good place to start looking.[/QUOTE]

Replace 1981, 1987, and 1992 with the Evil Dead trilogy and you've got yourself a pretty solid list.

[The_J_Hat]

Maybe not 1992, because we'd then displace Unforgiven.

I don't know what you're talking about, Army of Darkness is the bigger masterpiece.

everyone knows ED2 is the best of the trilogy

[Funktastic Dog]

AFI's 100 years... 100 movies is a pretty great list, with a lot of classics in there. Again, like all lists it skews towards older classics, but not nearly as bad as some of the other "Official" lists.

After that, go through the IMDB top 250 and watch any ones you haven't seen yet.

Also Empire's lists are well done as well.

Depends on which one youre talking about, there was a 301 best movies, which was a reader poll, that had Citizen Kane at 31 and Inception at 10.

It's hard for me to choose, since they're all so goddamn different in tone.
Easily a tie between 2 and Army for me, though I love every one of the films (even the remake, which was pretty good).

I'm in the mood for something feel-good, like Groundhog Day or It's Kind Of A Funny Story. Any genre and year works for me, although I always find I prefer more modern films.
