26. Gone with the Wind (1939)
Directed by Victor Fleming
Starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland
Yes, it's problematic in its revisionist history, but it's undeniably spectacular, romantic, with some of the best-written characters ever seen on film. Love the film, hate the message

Comments
Directed by James Cameron
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane
A film that gets unfairly maligned. I fell into that camp at first, but subsequent watches reveal depth of emotion and stunning visuals that stay with you. Would be higher if not for cheesy dialogue
Directed by Martin Scorsese
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg
The camera work, sound, and editing are so chaotic and mesmerizing. The characters are complex and the acting is superb. The unpredictable twists are the icing on the cake.
Directed by David Lean
Starring William Holden, Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins
Strong direction by Lean, interesting story, engaging characters, and stunning locations. Saito is shown as a compassionate character rather than generic Japanese villain.
Directed by Peter Jackson
Starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen
The best of the trilogy is a cinematic masterpiece all around. It really captures the essence of Tolkien's world. The ending has such emotional depth. Powerful.
Directed by William Friedkin
Starring Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider
Great and exciting film, good plot and full of atmosphere. Hackman plays Doyle for what he is: a flawed hero, which gives the film actual stakes instead of a smooth ending.
Directed by Tom McCarthy
Starring Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams
Direction is fantastic, script is brilliant, and the cast is magnificent. The scene with the kids singing Silent Night is chilling. A sensitive topic tackled with delicacy.
