OK, so following from another thread, let us get opinions on the best movies between 1970 & 2000... Reason for the 30-year spread is just so that we rather avoid the really old (some black & white) movies that our parents would have watched (and admittedly a few on the forum as well), while they should still seem classic opposed to contemporary 
Here are a few resourceful web sites in order to get some pointers:
www.imdb.com/chart/top
www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_best
http://www.metacritic.com/browse/movies/score/metascore/all
www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/100-greatest-films-all-time-714192
The usual suspects appear on most of these lists, but there are a couple of weird ratings & sequences among them while I missed (perhaps in error?) a few that I personally liked incl:
Dead Poet Society
Dangerous Liaisons
The Mission
The Horse Whisperer
Scent of a Woman
(there may be more, but these were some that I immediately thought about)
