The 20 Best Movies In My Opinion

And now the greatest movie of all time, The Godfather. This iconoclastic film is still regarded as the greatest film in history being rivaled by only Citizen Kane. This first installment of Francis Ford Coppola's epic trilogy details the Corleone family as it is being run by Vito. Once the patriarch of the Corleone family has died, Michael takes over. Featuring two of the greatest actor ever, Al Pacino and Marlon Brando, it is no wonder why this movie is the greatest. Frequently overquoted, the movie is a classic. Everybody has heard of it. Brando's iconic performance sealed him a legend of the cinema. Definitley the movie you HAVE to see before you die. Along with the three other installments. GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!

Coppola's second installment of the epic trilogy. Considered to be the greatest sequel ever in cinema history, this tale carries on Michael's control over the Corleone family while still backtracking and detailing the rise of Vito and how he become the Don of and powerhouse of Little Italy. Strong, emotional, and detailed, Coppola directly resembles everything there is to know about the Corleone family in an educated and well though out way. Truly a masterpiece.

The epic conclusion to the greatest trilogy in cinema history, Coppola's mob vision has died now in this third installment. Michael Corleone's family has now turned mostly legitimate and he is now living somewhat happily with his family. But tragedy turns again as he finds that yet he must be pulled back into the mafia business. The tragic ending is one of the few scenes that have made me cry.

Francis Ford Coppola's iconic representation of the Vietnam war. Willard( Martin Sheen) is led on a mission to take down a renegade colonel by the name of Kurtz( Marlon Brando). Brando and Sheen's excellent performances are seen through the eyes of everybody. With appearances by Robert Duvall, Laurence Fishburne, and Dennis Hopper, it is no wonder that this movie is still regarded as the greatest war movie ever.

Commonly regarded as the greatest movie of all time, I put it at number 5 because it is such a great movie considering it was Orson Welles' directorial debut. However, in terms of being the greatest, I would say no. Definitely a classic though.

One of the most technologically advanced and complex films of it's time, Kubrick changed the directing world with his overuse of techniques and special effects. That isn't also including how this movie glorified Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathrusta".

Scorsese's amazing story of a mobster gone to the good side. Filled with usual violence from Scorsese, this famous mobster movie has been critically acclaimed as one of the best organized crime pics of all time.

Quentin Tarantino's unparalleled tale of two hit men and their crime boss hunting down a mysterious briefcase. Many other subplots are present in this movie. Definitely, one you have to see.

Martin Scorsese's tale of a sadistic taxi driver who becomes obsessed with releasing a girl from prostitution, the film has still received positve reviews from fans alike. Personally one of my favorites.

This epic which was D.W. Griffith's masterpiece glorified the Ku Klux Klan and was controversial for it's use of blackface. However, running in at an impressive 3 hours, this still is regarded as one of cinemas finest.

Full of crud, vulgar, and violent tactics, Kubrick's Vietnam War masterpiece has stunned critics with it's overuse of profanity, torment, and violence. The suicide scene was sick, but is always complimented with a touch of Kubrick twist.

This heartwrenching romance has achieved great speculation. Being the second highest grossing film of all time, no wonder Dicaprio's career sky-rocketed after this amazing performance. Celine Dion's heartbreaking "My Heart Will Go On" compliments this movie in every way possible.

Traditionally, this movie had to be on here. Virtually seen by practically everybody, this film has reached success beyond belief. Judy Garland's iconic "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" is still regarded as one of the most famous cinema songs of all time.

Why Peter O' Toole never got an award for this movie, I will never know. However, it is a great classic and should be viewed. Honestly, it's amazing.

Yes, the great Chaplin picture I believe is a great. Though many people might think that this movie wouldn't exactly fit, I believe that this is truly one of cinemas greats. The speech at the end sends chills down my spine.

You knew a Hitchcock picture could not escape a list like this. Jimmy Stewart's amazing performance details a handicap man who witnesses a murder. True Hitchcock horror if you ask me.

Though very controversial for it's time, the artistic point of view that is reached through this Stanley Kubrick blockbuster is incredible. Ultraviolence is depicted to an amazing extent, but once again, what can you expect from Kubrick. Singing in the Rain!

The jaw-dropping performance by Brando. This classic has to be on my list simply because of the great story-line and just because of Brando himself. Such an amazing movie.

Yet another historical classic, this is what I consider to be another yet over glorified movie. Let's not forget though, Humphrey Bogart's and Ingrid Bergman's masterful performances. Amazing classic.

One of the most inspirational and famous movies ever, I put it at number 20 because I feel it is glorified a bit too much. However, I will not deny it's historical integrity.
