4. The Godfather (1972)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Starring Marlon Brando and Al Pachino
Winner of 3 Academy Awards, Including Best Picture. Nominated for 10, Including 3 in the Best Supporting Actor category (originally 11, but disqualified in the Best Original Score category).
I am often criticized for not thinking The Godfather is the best film of all time. Instead, I think it's the fourth best film of all time. It's really just splitting hairs. The Godfather is, again, one of those movies you think can't live up to the hype everyone has created for it, and in the end, it soars above and beyond it all. A downright masterpiece for so many reasons.

surprisingly low, but I haven't seen it so I can't judge.
