I have a hard time coming up with five favorite films from any genre or period much less overall, all-time! Other movies I think got overlooked: Un Chen Andalou, the brilliant Luis Bunuel / Salvador Dali collaboration shot in 1929. Crumb, the most revealing, bare your soul documentary I've ever seen. I've watched it twenty times and I could watch it twenty more. The Last Picture Show, The Days of Wine and Roses, Petrified Forest, Dead End, Sunset Blvd...well you get the picture.
