Top 500 Ranked U.S. Films of All Time

All U.S. Films Ranked in the top 1000
509 Total Films

Some of these films were joint productions, such as A Clockwork Orange and Bridge on the River Kwai (US-UK), and Doctor Zhivago (US-Italy), and I listed all those that were in English, which eliminated Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (US-China-Taiwan). [No, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly was thankfully not a U.S. production, it was a joint Italian-Spanish one]
