As we're a relatively young bunch on here, thought it may be a bit more of a challenge to come up with a personal top 10 on this subject. I've had to rack my brains to just about scrape together my list :
1. Eraserhead 2. Raging Bull 3. Schindler's List 4. Night of the Living Dead 5. Psycho 6. A Hard Days Night 7. Clerks 8. The Elephant Man 9. The Last Picture Show 10. It's a Wonderful Life
Honourable mentions to 'The Man Who Wasn't There' and 'Manhattan' too.
I'm sure that a few of you can shoot me down in flames on this one. Must confess that I don't really watch many movies made before the mid-60's. I think everything was a bit too safe and sanitised in Hollywood before the likes of Easy Rider and Bonnie & Clyde heralded that golden period when the directors called the shots in the industry.

Aye but you cant beat the likes of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, Black and white films at their best.

In terms of humour, I've always gravitated towards the dark, twisted and downright stupid (Monty Python, Airplane etc...)

You missed La Haine, and the Wizard of Oz. Aah, but I grew up on the colourised version. I was actually a little disappointed with La Haine, lost interest a little when the gang left the estate and went into the centre of Paris. I certainly think it suffers in comparison with Cidade de Deus (City of God, for the unpretentious ) which is one of the greatest films ever. The scene when the little kid has to choose which one of his freinds to shoot......now that was powerful stuff.
