I honestly thought it'd be a list of bizarre and oddly chosen movies,, but it ended up being a list of highly regarded films instead. I've seen all those listed except for Citizen Kane.
I was pleasantly surprised by the list that it came up with. All of these movies are well regarded as movies that were written, acted, and directed quite well and hold up well. But they are also popular movies that were for the most part critical and commercial successes. Not random obscure arthouse movies, and not "top grossing" movies of all time.
All that matters to me is that the LOTR trilogy gets the respect it deserves. Whenever I see a list of best movies of all time that doesn't include them, i know not to take it seriously.

I agree. That is a good measuring stick for the seriousness of a list like this.
Now I desperately want to watch Shawshank again. Thanks a lot man.
That movie rules.
YEET
YOTE
I've seen every one of these except citizen cane. Is it good?
I think it is good. But, it is not for everyone. Should always go into it blind for the most enjoyment.
Great list. These are all quite good. 😊
Glad you like them!
LOTR & SW in a top 10 list? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
