20. The Player (1992)
Hollywood's A-list line up to see themselves lampooned in Robert Altman's movie-biz satire. Tim Robbins is the ambitious studio exec who accidentally murders a writer.
19. Boyz N The Hood (1991)
To a smart rap track, teenager Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding Jr) is trying to stay upright in a city determined to claw him down through violence, drugs and racism. The ultimate 90s coming-of-age film.
18. Black Narcissus (1947)
Classic thriller from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger set in a remote Himalayan convent. Stars Deborah Kerr.
17. Walkabout (1971)
A boy, a girl and an aborigine: Nicolas Roeg's mesmerising debut.
16. Touch Of Evil (1958)
Another Orson Welles masterpiece. The big man stars as a corpulent US cop, facing off against Charlton Heston's Mexican narcotics officer over the border and over murder, corruption and abduction.
15. Pulp Fiction (1994)
Tarantino pushed storytelling to its limit to create this movie of interconnected stories, starring Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson, John Travolta and Uma Thurman.
14. Lagaan (2001)
By mixing two of India's greatest loves - cinema and cricket - Aamir Khan's debut production has become the new benchmark for Bollywood and the first Indian classic of the 21st century.
13. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman star in Frank Darabont's memorably moving prison-set fable, adapted from a short story by Stephen King. Robbins' young banker is accused of a double-murder but refuses to let his spirit be broken.
12. Lost In Translation (2003)
A wry and poignant comedy concerning the undercurrent of feelings between middle-aged actor Bill Murray and philosophy graduate Scarlett Johansson when they meet in a Tokyo hotel. Sofia Coppola's follow-up to The Virgin Suicides.
11. Alien (1979)
The film that gave us the action heroine, in the shape of Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley, and presented space travel as just another job. It's a tour-de-force of suspense, slasher antics and good old-fashioned sci-fi.
