Now that's a good list.

I'd also add Orphee as well. What about Birth of a Nation? I know not very PC but nonetheless pretty influential.

I'd also add 2001 because you've got to have one Kubrick film in there. Oh, and Thief of Bagdad.

No Citizen Kane? What about The Third Man?

Nice to see Night of the Hunter there. I love the composition and lighting in that, not to mention Mitcham's performance.

EDIT: Metropolis, Snow White & The Seven Dwarves, Jaws and Toy Story. Oh and Blade Runner.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven. The age old hollywood tradition of stealing ideas and remaking versions of foreign films (that are never as good). There might be an earlier example, but i don't know that much about the history of cinema.

The Magnificent Seven is a pretty great film, even if it's a retelling of Seven Samurai.

Its only my opinion but i think the original is better. But if you're saying the remake is on a par with the original, then its definitely the exception rather than the rule. Not trying to knock The Magnificent Seven.

I'd probably give Seven Samurai the nod as well, if only because it's an original story. Compared on just their merits as pieces of cinema, I think the two are pretty equal.

But they're two of the exceptions. Most remakes are far worse than the originals. Dawn of the Dead is another remake that compares well with the original, I think.

Besides, America gave the world Arrested Development. That makes up for just about ANYTHING.
