Oh crap I'm late. I tried to put one up three times already, never could do it. I'll go chronological, partly because ranking movies is a bitch, partly because I somehow think it makes sense. There are excellent movies before 1921 but they're not among my favourite favourites. There are probably excellent movies in the 2010s but I wouldn't know, I more or less stopped watching new movies around 2008-2009.

I just want to know how nutso is going to make sure there's no duplicates, for instance I used A Bout de Souffle in my list, which some users have used the English translation "Breathless"... just making sure you will check non-English titles and their translations? _________________

Because I'm awesome and I know A Bout de Souffle is the same as Breathless.
Haughtiness aside, if there's a film with a foreign title and I don't recognize it (some are super easy. A Bout de Souffle, La Vita e Bella, Trois Couleurs, etc) then I check the title on IMDb, and it'll give me the English titles usually.
