only five and more pathetic is i have only heard approx. 30% name in your list......among the list god father was fully faltu(and novel too), i loved schilinder's list and the seven samurai........so my assesment according to you will be pre school in context of movie academic.

i have watched ten of these movies.

Godfather, jaws, ET, fight club to name a few. Really loved "Fight Club", it's one my favourites. Godfather is a great movie but not my favourite though.
I would consider myself a primary leveler in movie academic.
