THE GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIME

Selected by Zimmerman Skyrat, 101Bananas.com

There’s a big difference between “Greatest Movies” and “Favorite Movies.” To be considered truly “great,” a film must have either broken new ground in the history of the art of cinema (i.e., done something unique—or done it better than anyone else); had a great and lasting impact, for whatever reason, on the culture or country it was produced in; or been very influential on filmmaking or other directors that came after it. Obviously, a list like this is based on opinion. I’m a yahoo nobody that goes by the fraudulent online avatar name of Zimmerman Skyrat, not Roger Ebert. Just because I think a movie is one of the greatest of all time doesn’t mean it’s one of my favorites. (e.g., Riefenstahl’s ‘Triumph of the Will’ was a seminal achievement in filmmaking, but I’m not a big fan of Adolph Hitler; and yes, ‘The Birth of a Nation’ was openly racist, but you cannot deny its enormous influence on the craft of early filmmaking.) My list, in alphabetical order:

MOVIES:

ZIMMERMAN SKYRAT’S FAVORITE MOVIES

Selected by Zimmerman Skyrat, 101Bananas.com

Thanks to the wonders of NetFlix and Amazon Prime, this list grows longer every year. The only criteria for this category is that they are simply my personal favorites. There may be some weird or dumb or silly or poorly produced/acted/directed movies of little substance here, but as someone once wisely said, there’s no accounting for personal taste. I make no apologies at all for any movies you may find on this list that you consider to be trash, or that you found so boring you couldn’t sit through the whole thing. They’re just my favorites, that’s all, some of them possibly because of only one particular scene, or because of the theme of the movie or the ideas expressed in it, though it may be quite unimpressive otherwise.
