I'm not a big fan of Bergman. I like his movies on an intellectual level, but rarely am I really emotionally involved. You could argue Fanny and Alexander.
I'm not the type to make lists, but this might be my top 25:
1 2001: A Space Odyssey - Kubrick
2 Red - Kieslowski
3 8 1/2 - Fellini
4 Woman in the Dunes - Teshigahara
5 Solaris - Tarkovsky
6 Walkabout - Roeg
7 The Shining - Kubrick
8 Mulholland Dr. - Lynch
9 Apocalypse Now - F. Coppola
10 Hiroshima mon Amour - Resnais
11 Eyes Wide Shut - Kubrick
12 La Dolce Vita - Fellini
13 Lost in Translation - S. Coppola
14 Double Life of Veronique - Kieslowski
15 The Third Man - Reed
16 Rashomon - Kurosawa
17 Casablanca - Curtiz
18 Notorious - Hitchcock
19 Day for Night - Truffaut
20 Naked Lunch - Cronenberg
21 Ikiru - Kurosawa
22 Magnolia - P. T. Anderson
23 Persona - Bergman
24 Koyaanisqatsi - Reggio
25 The Thin Red Line - Malick
I should note that's not what I would say are the greatest or the most important, but my personal favorites -- the kinds of movies that either deeply affected me or else ones that I loved watching and thinking about afterward. I also should note that I made thta list off the cuff, and thus it probably isn't entirely accurate. PErhaps I should actually think and create a list of my favorites sometime.
What're yours while we're on the subject?
