That BFI list is kind of strange. Not the order I would go at all. I'd never heard of The Third Man. I'd have put Lawrence of Arabia at No 1. You must watch the whole thing. It's stunning.
I'd love to hear your comments as you go through the list. There may be things I'll want to see if you like them.

It's also funny to see the crossover on that list with the AFI list. Both include The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia:
