Greatest movies

Like Terry Teachout, I'll be perfectly content if I never see the films I missed that made the American Film Institute's Greatest Movies list.
11. "City Lights," 1931.
18. "The General," 1927.
23. "The Grapes of Wrath," 1940.
30. "Apocalypse Now," 1979.
45. "Shane," 1953.
49. "Intolerance," 1916.
53. "The Deer Hunter," 1978
58. "The Gold Rush," 1925.
72. "The Shawshank Redemption," 1994.
76. "Forrest Gump," 1994. (Started to, fell asleep, twice.)
77. "All the President's Men," 1976.
78. "Modern Times," 1936.
86. "Platoon," 1986.
I'm not big on silent movies and I can't stand seeing movies--or reading books--about the Vietnam War.
