250 of the Most Essential Movies Ever Made

Are these The 250 Most Essential Movies Ever Made? Maybe, maybe not. It's far too subjective a subject to say with any real certainty. This list is supposed be simply a section, rather than claiming to be completely definitive. It is compiled from both personal experience of over 2500 movies seen and additional research and sometimes includes movies I didn't like because of popular opinion and vice versa.
