No. 72

Citizen Kane (1941)

Score - 72
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 15
Rotten Tomatoes 100%
Box Office - 1.6m $

A film that consistently tops critics' best films of all times lists, Citizen Kane only manages to make our list at no 73. It is the oldest film in the list. It also has a perfect RT rating and one of the highest avg ratings ever on it with 9.4. This is a must see for all film fans.

No. 71

The Usual Suspects (1995)

Score - 72
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 15
Rotten Tomatoes 88%
Box Office - 34.4 $

Only the 4th film from the 90s in the top 100, this is The Usual Suspects. A film that can blow your mind. The end twist is iconic in film history and Kevin Spacey acted superbly. A worthy inclusion at this point

No. 70

The Godfather Part 1 (1974)

Score - 74
No. Of Lists - 1
Average Rank - 14
Rotten Tomatoes 99%
Box Office - 245.1 million USD

Another film considered the best ever almost as frequently as Citizen Kane. 99% RT, 9.2 avg. Iconic film. Also became the highest grossing film of its time when released. This film had everything going for it. Highest Gross, oscars, critical and audience acclaim. Few, maybe none, other film has ever had had such momentum since. This is a film that everybody just has to see.

A surprising thing btw. This is not the only 70s film in the list. There is at least one more. Maybe even more. Can anyone guess which one(s)?

This is one of the better hindi films of recent times. A film that caused quite a stir in St. Peters especially. Well acted and unusually intense this is one of the few hindi films that deserved to be in this list. Anyways, this is the 12th Hindi Film while the 6th in the Top 100. Only 4 are left. Which ones will those be? Will any make it to the the top 50?

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Score - 78
No. Of Lists - 2
Average Rank - 31.5

Rotten Tomatoes - 94%
Box Office - 214

The last Tarantino film on the list. This is the fifth film from the 90s to be on the list. This is easily Tarantino's best film yet. Widely considered to be the one of the best ever in fact. It is an extremely stylistic film and one that catapulted Sam Jackson's career.

This is also the first film in a long time to have been on atleast 2 lists, albeit pretty low.

This is one film that I desperately want to watch. A great great great film. A blend of horror and fantasy. Described by RT as Alice in Wonderland for Grown Ups. It has an unbelievable 8.6 Avg rating. This film deserves to be here, in fact its too damn low.

Considered to be one of the best films of the 2010s, this is one clever film. Great acting and a great story. Twists and turns all around. Another film to be on two lists. There are very few films to be on only 1 list now. The real ferocious list is starting now.

Tue Apr 18, 2017 1:51 am

Btw only 4 films are remaining to be on the list that were in only 1 list.

Aaand they are all coming in a sequence right now!!

This is a much under appreciated film. Grover bhai sahab put it at no 10. This is considered by critics to be one of the best films of the 2000s decade. Jake Gyllenhall. A great actor. Will anymore Gyllenhall films make the cut?
