# Ah, Jaws.
In my all-time top 5.

# My all time fave, it's a 'regular watch' every year
along with Goodfellas, The Ladykillers, (original) 'M' and the Godfather trilogy

# Good grief!
What an excellent selection. They all bear multiple viewings, for sure.
I'd put Fargo in there, too.

# strangely,
I've never seen any of those films.

EDIT: I should point out I've seen many of the classics, but I think you managed to list most of the ones I've missed.

# I've no excuse really.
I think Goodfellas and Godfather are actually in the house...

# Goodfellas is 3 hours
of bravura filmaking by a master at the top of his game. Get it watched!

# You speak much truth in that sentence
I wasn't quite prepared for how awesome it was going to be on my first viewing of it.
Again, it's a perfect Sunday afternoon treat if you have 3 hours or so to kill,
and don't fall asleep after the sunday lunch

# Stop at Godfather Part 2 - Part 3 should only be picked up well after watching the first two
Do please catch the original Ladykillers. It's a perfect Sunday afternoon treat.
A glorious cast, a wonderful turn by Alec Guinness, and a lovely 'half comedy/half sinister' story that does much more in 90 minutes
than a lot of modern films manage in over 2

# Absolutely
