...is that they are (for the most part) all in completely different genres. Yet an argument could be made for nearly every one as being among the best films ever in that genre (if not THE best).
Spartacus - Arguably the best Ancient Roman empire epic ever made
Dr. Strangelove - Probably the best political/military satire ever made
Lolita - One of the best movies about forbidden love / interpersonal relations
2001 - Arguably the most ground-breaking Sci-Fi flick ever (a little too obtuse to be the "best" IMHO)
Full Metal Jacket - One of the best Vietnam films ever
Clockwork orange - One of the best "cult" films ever
The Shining - The single best horror film ever, IMHO
The list goes on...
