A very "safe" list. Many will be pleased. Noticed that only one film/one director made the list whereas two or more masterpieces of a director could have made the list easily, according to the nature of the choices, i.e. Renoir's "Rules of the Game" & "Grand Illusion", Bergman's "Persona" & "Seventh Seal".  Was it a case of... "oh, we've got a Bergman in already so let's put a Godard this time"? or "The Grapes of Wrath" is good but we already have "The Searchers".
