3. Rififi Criterion
4. 8 1/2 Criterion

Top 20
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. The 400 Blows
3. 8 1/2
4. The Apartment
5. Citizen Kane
6. Seven Samurai
7. Wild Strawberries

This list can be savaged because I didn't include essentials such as Ikiru or Tokyo Story BUT i do love those and will watch them more in the future. I've seen both 2 times and the brilliance of both cannot be underestimated. I'm sure this list will change even more as time goes on.
