Our critic's top movies of all time countdown

February 23, 2012 10:56 AM

What, no "Citizen Kane"?

Nope. Nor did I include "Gone With the Wind," anything by Martin Scorsese or a single French New Wave landmark in my list of the top 20 movies of all time.

After all, it is "my" list. All perfectly defensible, but I'll wager that your personal list looks much different. What are the movies that shaped your youth, that hit you somewhere deep, that you still watch over and over? What are the movies you really, truly love?

Every Friday leading up to the Oscars, follow along as I count down my favorite films of all time. I'll reveal five movies every Friday before the 84th annual Academy Awards ceremony Feb. 26.
