The "Best" Movies, ranked listing

I've decided to watch all the "best" movies. If you want to know why, read this and this.

Here is one of the lists mentioned in those posts...

Ranked combined listing of the movies that appear on "AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies (1998)," "AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies (2007)," "AFI's 10 Top 10," and "Academy Award® Best Picture winners."

Points are awarded as follows:
  1. 100 Movies, 2007, 211-112 points
  2. 100 Movies, 1998, 111-12 points
  3. 10 Top 10, 11-2 points
  4. Best Picture, 1 point
Where total points are equal, preference is given to rankings in the 2007 list, then to the 1998 list, then to the 10 top 10 list, and, finally, alphabetically.
