In my opinion, a great movie is a film that contributes something worthwhile and meaningful to the state of cinema. It's a film that pushes the boundaries of previously established conventions and proves to be a successful project with regard to all of its components: the acting and directing, the screenplay, the cinematography and other technical aspects. Hence, most of the films you will be able to find on this list have in some way or another changed the course of cinematic history; however, on the other hand, I will also include some personal favorites which I personally found worthy of being included in this list.
The list grows eternally as I frequently watch more movies deserving of a spot on this list. Most of these movies I could not recommend more: in my opinion, you will definitely miss something upon not watching these. I have ranked the movies in alphabetical order to prevent myself from allowing any personal preference to interfere with this collection.
