My annually revised all-time favorite films list has finally arrived... I found it impossible to narrow it down to 10, and the only way I managed 20 is by limiting myself to two films per director (hence the exclusion of Stolen Kisses) and no films under 10 years old (hence the exclusion of The Celebration, Rushmore, and films from the 21st century)... I also left out silent films
Citizen Kane (1941, Orson Welles)
The Bicycle Thief (1948, Vittorio De Sica)
The Third Man (1949, Carol Reed)
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949, Robert Hamer)
Rashomon (1950, Akira Kurosawa)
Tokyo Story (1953, Yasujiro Ozu)
Paths of Glory (1957, Stanley Kubrick)
Wild Strawberries (1957, Ingmar Bergman)
The 400 Blows (1959, Francois Truffaut)
Jules and Jim (1962, Francois Truffaut)
My Life to Live (1962, Jean-Luc Godard)
8 1/2 (1963, Federico Fellini)
Dr. Strangelove (1964, Stanley Kubrick)
The Battle of Algiers (1966, Gillo Pontecorvo)
The Firemen’s Ball (1967, Milos Forman)
A Woman Under the Influence (1974, John Cassavettes)
Taxi Driver (1976, Martin Scorsese)
Amadeus (1984, Milos Forman)
Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985, Tim Burton)
Fargo (1996, Joel & Ethan Coen)
(edited: as I read back over this I realized I completely missed Wild Strawberries)

On your list, Wild Strawberries (which is on my Netflix queue) and Pee Wee are the only movies I have not watched. I love most of the stuff on your list. It's interesting to look at our changes in preference over time, though it seems like you have not changed much from last year.
I posted mine on myspace:

yeah... from my top ten last year there are only two film that aren't on my top 20 this year
i saw alot of new things this year that made narrowing it down to 10 impossible
No Robin Hood?
Robin Hood would definitely rank #1 on my list of favorite animated films... unfortunately that list would consist of, like, 2 movies
