2. 12 Angry Men (1957)
"It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's sure."

Recently watched The Godfather for the first time and it's already in my top ten. I was missing a lot, lives up to all its hype. Great pick.
And #17 is too low.

You have classic tastes with a little bit of flair thrown in. I have seen a lot of top 100s on here and don't comment on them because there are always a number of movies that are either ludicrously bad or not to my taste. Your list is very refined. I loved the inclusion of Blackfish. It was an inspired touch. Brilliant quote under the movie Boyhood. Finally someone who likes Linklater as much as I do. He gets very little love on this site.
