Just rewatched the last third of Touch of Evil tonight and I think it deserves an upgrade on my list. Vertigo is just absolutely amazing. And it's great to see Sunset Boulevard high up there, I'll never forget the first time I saw it.

Suggestions: 12 Angry Men, Nights of Cabiria, Alice in Wonderland, Singin' in the Rain, and Strangers on a Train.

Good suggestions. I'd have to see 12 Angry Men again as well as Stranger On A Train. I haven't seen the other 3 yet.
