Just for fun, here's the best according to this site that combines a bunch of critics top lists (the numbers are where the film ranks in the top 1000 of all time):
All About My Mother (Almodóvar, Pedro; Spain-France) •625
Wind Will Carry Us, The (Kiarostami, Abbas; France-Iran) •720
Eyes Wide Shut (Kubrick, Stanley; US-UK) •789
Fight Club (Fincher, David; US-Germany) •805
Topsy-Turvy (Leigh, Mike; UK-US) •898
Magnolia (Anderson, Paul Thomas; US) •902

Looking at the list of titles in the poll, I see some good movies and some entertaining movies, but not a one would I consider to be "great" or a classic... then again, I believe the '70's were the last truly great decade for cinema.From the titles mentioned in this thread, I guess I would choose Fight Club as the best, though I was more entertained by the South Park movie.

It has a 98% with Rotten Tomatoes Users, tied for the highest with Raiders Of The Lost Ark. IMDb users aren't the only ones who rank it highly.

Fight Club...as much as I love American Beauty there is really no debate. I keep watching it and I get something new every time and the message of the film really speaks to me.

I think people answering this poll have become biased against the Matrix because of the lesser sequels...the original was truly a revolutionary film that still has ripples today in film and television.

I had it in my head that Eight Days a Week was a 97 film, because that's what IMDB lists, but it's proper release was 1999. Either way, it's one of my 10 favorite films ever.

Between American Beauty & Fight Club. Never get tired of either of those flicks.
Although i firmly believe South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut should be on that list.
