Default Best Films Ever

My regular readers will know I go through phases of obsessing about stuff and my latest one is to watch all those classic films I haven't seen yet. I have to confess I only watch funny stuff normally.

I have a list off t'internet to guide me but how about some BE recommendations?

I was off sick with flu recently and discovered Blockbuster do 7 for $7 on the weekly rentals. Last night we watched The Green Mile which is possibly the best film I have ever seen.

What should I rent next?
