217. Groundhog Day (1993): 8.0

• I've seen it: One of the best Hollywood comedies of the '90s.

218. Notorious (1946): 8.0

• I've seen it: a couple of times.
• I've reviewed it: "Full of ironic hidden meanings. Characters talk about sex without talking about sex in such a way that we are left in no doubt whatsoever about who is having sex with whom. The Nazi characters speak with a courteous formality that is wonderfully full of evil menace."

227. The Night of the Hunter (1955): 8.0

• I've seen it: in 2009.
• I reviewed it:  "The strength of this film is its imagery. The black and white photography is terrific, and the sets are slightly surreal, placing the characters in spaces that are at once familiar and grotesque."

228. La Haine (1995): 8.0

• Never heard of it.

229. The Battle of Algiers (1966): 8.0

• I'm not sure if I've seen it.

240. The Help (2011): 8.0

• I have not seen it.

241. The Big Sleep (1946): 8.0

• I've seen it: a couple of times.
• I've reviewed it: "Wildly entertaining, The Big Sleep is also a smart movie about smart people who interact with each other in a stylized but basically plausible fashion. Beyond this, it doesn't have any particular point or message, but really the promotion of wit and banter as their own rewards is a worthy cause in its own right."

242. Birdman (2014): 8.0

• I've seen it: and thought it was pretty good.

243. Roman Holiday (1953): 8.0

• I'm not sure if I've seen it.
