I think "Fight Club", "The Big Lebowski" and "American Beauty" should be on this list.
This comment will probably annoy many people. Films got much better starting in the 70s. I think directors like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg brought something that other film makers hadn't. I think because they grew up watching so many movies they had an advantage that film makers before them didn't have. They had what I call "audience perspective". They knew what people wanted to see, what made them react more. I think Stanley Kubrick was the first one to do that.
The Big Parade and The Crowd are available on bittorrent (taped off of TCM). Those and Greed are the only ones not available on DVD if I remember right.

Thanks to MST3K I can never not think of Leonard Maltin as the critic who gave Laserblast 2.5 stars of loving approval.Alias
This list is really too US-focussed. Only the "foreign" films that really couldn't have been left off are here, but nothing genuinely intriguing.ScreenList
71 films made before 1960, so one for the enthusiasts!A good list for checking out classic/old movies
