28. If the hammer is pulled back, so to speak, I'd go with "Paths of Glory"

But my honorable mentions are (and just a handful)

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
Stormy Weather
High and Low
Pressure Point
In The Heat of the Night
The Nutty Professor
West Side Story
It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
The Godfather
Enter the Dragon

Special Mention: I recently saw, for the first time, the "non-hazy" director's cut of "Heaven's Gate," and MAN!!! did that film get a bum rap. I really enjoyed it... In fact, I was more impressed with it than with "The Deer Hunter" (nonetheless, still a great film)
