Top Films of the Decades

I can never do these lists because I haven't seen as many "classics" as I should. But I am trying to motivate myself to watch movies such as The Godfather, Casablanca, etc. They've never peeked my interest, but I think I probably should.

Ok, here are my choices. Only picked 5 from 30s-50s because I just haven't watched enough films to make a definitive top 10. 70s onwards, it was just hard to narrow it down to just 10 per decade!
