Some of these are also really slow and might not be tolerable sober like Baraka and the Qatsi trilogy are time lapse films. I also ignored really obvious shit like The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Toy Story, etc. since I don't think you've been living under a rock.
Brilliant list there for the most part. I would add:
Alot of these are common and well known brilliant films but in the case they might have been overlooked.

Catch 22 (The movie was nowwhere even near the book but still worth watching)

The Truman Show
Man on the Moon
Citizen Kane
Vertigo
Seven Samurai
