In terms of objective cinema, imo, nothing beats Schindler’s List |

I've seen all the list except The Dark Knight but that's simply as I'm not a fan of superhero films.
Its the Shawshank Redemption that intrigues me the most. I think its certainly a good film. In fact lets be clear its a very good film. But to me its just not THAT good a film. It causes me to ponder how many genuinely love it as their fave film (their absolute right to of course) and how many simply choose it for these polls as they desire to be perceived as having "excellent taste" |

I genuinely love Shawshank and I think a lot of people genuinely do. I believe its the total despair of the situation Andy Dunkeswell. His degradation and how he doesn't give up and the beautiful ending. |

They just don't appeal to me. Perhaps it's partly the subject matter and partly the hype around them. |

12 Angry Men is the only one I haven't seen. I find that many old films often have inflated ratings because it's cool to like them and are often actually not that great.
IMDB ratings are usually OK but can be a bit random. Shawshank Redemption is a very cool film but I don't think it deserves top spot by any stretch. |

I watched 12 Angry Men for the first time recently, I thought it was a good film, I agree with you about inflated ratings but I enjoyed it. |

I've seen them all. Not sure about 2 lord of the rings movies in there. Godfather II is one of those rare things, like empire strikes back, a sequel that surpasses the original. 12 angry men is a great movie and just as relevant today as it talks about preconceptions and bias. And the dark Knight is one of the best films I've ever seen  |

I normally agree, but 12 Angry Men is such a good film! They take the most simple concept and dissect it over the course of the film and make the absolute most out of a minimal story. It's absolutely incredible! |

My question to you is what were you doing in the 80s or 90s. I would expect those that were around then to have watch one of them.
I have watched more than half of those films can barely remember their plot. |

"Both Godfather films. I tried watching the first and started laughing when the Godfather spoke. It reminded me of a comedy sketch where the comedian had cotton wool in his mouth!"
Which funnily enough is what marlon had.. In his mouth |

He didn't- its a myth.
Instead some expensive dental prosthetics were made, as they needed to cover up his own teeth, which were too nice for the character of Don Corleone. |

"Godfather II is one of those rare things, like empire strikes back, a sequel that surpasses the original.
As is Paddington 2 "
I'll add Shrek 2 there.
In the OP's list, I have seen them all apart from 12 Angry Men. |

Well, with yours and a couple of other recommendations I might have to give 12 Angry Men a chance. |

Only 12 angry men I haven't watched. but I do intend to watch it. Been meaning to for ages.
I cannot get my head around not wanting to watch a film because of hype surrounding it. Some people really like to be a contrarian. |

I've only seen 3 (the Dark Knight, and the 2 LoTR movies). Pattern seems to be I've only seen it if it came out after I was born. Given that all others in the list seem to be dramas (a genre I avoid), not interested in them either. I didn't think the Dark Knight was as good as people rate it either. |
