I've seen all of those flicks and I must agree that the screenplays are the 10 best. Especially the Top 3. They are all equally brilliant, though I think my personnal favorite is "Chinatown".
Before you gotta make a movie, you gotta have a screenplay! (Something modern Hollywood seems to have forgotten).

I used to baby-sit for a real talented art designer that designed the set for Brahm Stokers Dracula...He knew it was my absolute favorite set he'd worked on so he has all the cast and upper crew sign it for me. I will always treasure it! Those are truly great films in that list there Johan my favs are tied for first...Chinatown and Godfather...Casablanca... 8)
