Lol. I think the list once again needs some revising:

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick
2. 8 1/2 - Federico Fellini
3. The Third Man - Carol Reed
4. Tokyo Story - Yasujio Ozu
5. Playtime - Jacques Tati
6. Singin' in the Rain - Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly
7. Sansho the Bailiff - Kenji Mizoguchi
8. Ikiru - Akira Kurosawa
9. The House is Black - Forrough Farrokhzad
10. In the Land of Silence and Darkness - Werner Herzog
11. Citizen Kane - Orson Welles
12. The Magnificent Ambersons - Orson Welles
13. Chimes at Midnight - Orson Welles
14. Sans Soleil - Chris Marker
15. The Passion of Joan of Arc - Carl T. Dreyer
16. Vertigo - Alfred Hitchcock
17. The General - Buster Keaton
18. The Rules of the Game - Jean Renoir
19. Andrei Rublev - Andrei Tarkovsky
20. Satantango - Bela Tarr

I couldn't find room for Persona though, it probably most undoubtedly be number 21 lol. Bergman is a great director and probably the most personal of them all. Cries and Whispers is also his other masterpiece that comes at the summit of his career.

cries and whispers has some awesomely cruel moments, yes.but nothing will ever compare to the seventh seal, although i have this uncontrollable obsession with persona. its amazing how you chose tarkovsky's andrei rublev, and not solaris! and kurosawa's ikiru, instead of dersu uzala.
and you completely ignored this, its very hurtfull, that!

ok, one more:

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Avatar
3. Trainspotting
4. Gladiator

Take all the films that have ever been made and this still remains the finest. On present form it will never be bettered.
