Your choices are a lot more varied than mine would be! I just might have to give this a try, just to juxtapose films that would never be mentioned together any other way. Oddly, there's only 10 films on your list I would even consider for mine... perhaps because my list would be much less American.
My friend, your taste is DYNAMO. Great, great, GREAT list.
Steve- would be very curious to see your list! I do feel some shame that my list is so exclusively American even though I do enjoy foreign films a lot.
Doug-Your words move me sir, far too kind!
Whoa, someone with almost as much Carpenter as me in the top 50. Nice list. Love, love, love After Hours.
Just did my list - and it turned out very very American!

It's amazing to me how many movies I haven't seen.
I started doing a top 50 in 2011 with the plan of writing reviews about once a week. HA! My list has changed some since then, but what I've got posted so far is here: http://www.retrohound.com/50-greatest-movies/
