And as it turns out, working for the mafia isn’t much different than any other job - you spend 30 years busting your hump to climb the ladder, only to end up face down on a bloody carpet in some tacky house in the burbs. Where Coppola went inside the walls of organised crime’s one percent, Scorsese’s gangsters are more blue collar. And for a movie about violent career criminals, it’s also strangely relatable. Certainly, the former is more easily rewatchable, owing to its breakneck pacing – its two and a half hours (and three decades) just whiz by. Based on the true life of mobster Henry Hill, Goodfellas was born in the shadow of The Godfather, but as the years go on, the question of which is more influential becomes mostly a matter of generation. ‘As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.’ Ray Liotta’s opening line is the crime movie equivalent of ‘Once upon a time…’, and what follows is Martin Scorsese’s version of a fairy tale – the story of a starry-eyed Brooklyn kid who realises his boyhood dream and still comes out a schnook in the end. Kubrick’s frighteningly clinical vision of the future – AI and all – still feels prophetic, more than 50 years on.- Phil de Semlyen Were it not for them, 2001 might have faded into obscurity, but it’s hard to imagine it would have stayed there. An audience of stoners, wowed by its eye-candy Star Gate sequence and pioneering visuals, adopted it as a pet movie. Clarke was actually living in Ceylon (not in India, or a tree), but the pair met, hit it off, and forged a story of technological progress and disaster (hello, HAL) that’s steeped in humanity, in all its brilliance, weakness, courage and mad ambition. ‘I understand he’s a nut who lives in a tree in India somewhere,’ noted Kubrick when Clarke’s name came up – along with those of Isaac Asimov, Robert A Heinlein and Ray Bradbury – as a possible writer for his planned sci-fi epic. The greatest film ever made began with the meeting of two brilliant minds: Stanley Kubrick and sci-fi seer Arthur C Clarke.

So get exploring – you may not like everything you see, but we’re confident you’ll find something that surprises you. It’s a list that covers a lot of ground: over 100 years, multiple countries, and just about every genre you can imagine, from monolithic blockbusters to treasured cult classics, ridiculous comedies to freaky horror, sweaty-palmed thrillers to eye-popping action flicks. And if you’re enough of a cinephile to have seen every movie on here already, it might cause you to rethink your own personal rankings. If you’re just beginning to fill in the gaps of your movie knowledge, this is the perfect way to identify the holes. But the point of the list you’re about to peruse isn’t to solidify any sort of canon. That can make ranking the best movies ever made a fraught process.

Tastes in cinema vary wildly, of course: one person’s Citizen Kane is another’s Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, or vice versa. Because while everyone loves getting lost in a film for two-plus hours, not everyone loves the same films. The controversy happens when you start talking about the greatest movies of all-time. Who doesn’t, really? That’s not a controversial statement. In case you couldn’t tell, we love movies – and if you’re reading this, presumably you do, too.
