This is the TIME magazine's listing of the 100 greatest movies of all time:
http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/the_complete_list.html
Nayakan, Pyaasa and Apu trilogy are the Indian movies that figure in the listing.There is no ranking system nor is it a Hollywood dominated listing.It is actually....but more of world cinema than one would expect.Citizen Kane cited by other( read American) rankings as the best ever figures in the list; so do Finding Nemo, LOTR and Pulp Fiction( reservoir dogs wither?) among newer movies.There is ET, Psycho, Goodfellas,Schindlers List, Godfather....films we loved.
Thought The Color-Purple was a notable omission,and Do Bigha Zameen instead of Pyaasa would have been a better choice.No Ben Hur??Clockwork Orange, 2001 ASO,Platoon?My lst would include the Pianist, at least one Chaplin movie( TG Dictator),Taxi Driver, Thin Red Line,Forrest Gump, Life is Beautiful, October Sky.And there's such a wealth of small movies that get made but never make it to the top.We shall never know.
