I'll take #35 - Last of the Mohicans. Almost completely historically inaccurate, and fed a lot of stereotypes, but still a pretty decent movie, rare in that it was MUCH better than the book.

It's really a crime that Stalingrad and Europa Europa are not on this list. Stalingrad is the greatest war movie I've ever seen by open lengths. Europa Europa is excellent too. My guess is they are not included because they are both German films. Given that, I'll take the other German representative here.

#17, Das Boot.

Stalingrad was great, but I actually preferred Enemy At The Gates, which would have been my second choice. Along with The Road To Perdition, they're the only two movies where I didn't feel an incredible urge to leap through the screen and kick Jude Law in the sternum.
