In case you were wondering, Star Wars: A New Hope ranks at the 36^th position on this long list, with the top choices looking a little familiar if you've ever seen a list of great films. We understand that Citizen Cane is considered the best movie ever, but maybe mix some things up a bit, BBC. Though, one could argue that it's always at the top for a reason!

Either way, this list is sure to entertain!
