I previously listed what I considered to be for the best movies ever made. However there are far more movies that are just. “GREAT”
It does amuse me when people give a list it always has to be a round number. You cannot have 17 of the best movies or 22. It has to be 15 or 20 and usually 10.
Well, here is a list of the movies I would give a “great” rating to. And I’m sure I forgot a few. What would add or delete
Airplane!
A Clockwork Orange
Alien
All The President’s Men
Annie Hall
Apollo 13
Best Years of Our Lives
Blade Runner: Director’s Cut
Blazing Saddles
Cabaret
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Duck Soup
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Pretty good list Barry. I agree on most, but not all of them. It's NFL playoff time (Go Niners), so I won't have time to dive in too deeply, but I will at some point.
I'm surprised The Lone Ranger didn't make your list ;) I know it's a secret favorite of yours, right? :D
