And it was directed by James Clavell, the author of "Shogun" and "Tai-Pan" and "Noble House".

It is certainly one of them, can't think of any better offhand. A Hard Days Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be...for 5. To Sir With Love is a great song (and movie) too.

Tricky Kid wrote: No Citizen Kane? No Casablanca? Too canonized, and Touch of Evil is greater. I should have included at least one Orson Welles movie, but the maximum was 15, so which should it replace? Which of the above titles should go? Casablanca is more like an icon and a cult film, it would belong more in the other cult films thread.

It was extremely successful.

What, no "Red Dawn"? (Seriously, I really like that movie - if it comes on, I'm usually hooked.)
Let's see...
Pulp Fiction Spinal Tap Chasing Amy Dogma Clerks II (yeah, I'm a fan) Airplane! Wuthering Heights Bride Of Frankenstein Life Of Brian Monty Python And The Holy Grail Young Frankenstein Blazing Saddles
I'd better stop...
