I would put Citizen Kane on my list, as well, but it seems so cliche to mention it since it's so often mentioned as "the best" movie ever and all that. But I do really like it.

I've seen Citizen Kane but I wouldn't put it on any of my top 10 lists. It's not that I don't think that it's a well made film, I just didn't enjoy it that much.

- Casablanca
- Citizen Kane
- White Heat
- Treasure of the Sierra Madre
- The Grapes of Wrath
- The Ox-Bow Incident
- Dumbo
- Suspicion
- The Wolf Man
There are quite a few titles that I've got, but still haven't watched. I sense a few of those would easily make the list had I already seen them, but I didn't want to make assumptions.
