Empire published a list of 201 films in 2006, in which The Godfather was voted #5. The film has also appeared on the magazine's previous lists: 100 Favourite Films Of All Time, 1996 (#6); Your 100 Greatest Films Ever!, 1999 (#7); The 50 Best Films, 2001 (#4); 100 Greatest Movies Of All Time, 2004 (#6).

Absolutely mind-blowing that people who know film could compile a list of the greatest movies ever made and include titles such as "Toy Story", "The Lost Boys", "Dumb and Dumber", and MANY other VERY mediocre movies and leave off "Barry Lyndon," which is arguably the best movie made by arguably the greatest director who ever lived, Stanley Kubrick.
I agree with you about Kubrick, he's my favourite director and generally my hero: he has his own category on this blog, and I've also written a website about him.
Personally, I prefer 2001 and Dr Strangelove to Barry Lyndon, but all of his films are masterpieces.
Toy Story is a great and important film, though - it does deserve to be included, I think, unlike The Lost Boys and Dumb & Dumber.
