A couple of days ago I came across a list of all the films Roger Ebert picked as the best for each year he worked as film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. Ebert was with the Chicago newspaper for nearly 47 years. Of the 46 films listed, I've seen about 10 of them. If there is anything I've learned from Mr. Ebert, it's that I need to start watching more five-star movies.
Here's the list I copied from the article titled, Roger Ebert's Favorite Movies:
1967 Bonnie and Clyde
1968 The Battle of Algiers
1969 Z
