The Best Movies Ever

I considder the following movies to be some of the best ever made. The list is by no means complete! If a movie gets * * * * * here, that means if you haven't seen it do so right now! Yes, it will be that good! If a film recieves stars, then it is still a great movie that left a lasting impression with me, but I don't considder it a must-see kind of movie. Anything in between is great and a (sometimes very) personal opinion.

Note that I like heavy movies which convey a message and make you think. That does not mean you won't find any comedy here, but not a whole lot and some it may have a deeper meaning than is obvious at first sight. Pubnchline: The best movies are those where you have to watch the credits because you just can't move and have to collect your thoughts and come back to reality first.
