Tell us what you would add.
Almost all the films on your list are RECENT and USA made.
I assume that this might reflect the films which have been available to the authors.
I suggest the addition of the following:
THE KID 1921 USA Charlie Chaplin

MANDELA – A LONG WALK TO FREEDOM 2013 British / South Africa Film
IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT 1967 USA
INHERIT THE WIND 1960 USA
A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH 1946 British
“M” 1931 Germany
THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC 1928 France
and lots of other excellent films over the last 100 years.
