It's what the Internet was invented for. It's actually true that the delivery of porn was a major driving force in moving the technology forward when the Internet was first made available to the general public. Much more so than business/commercial use which were slower to adopt the technology.
Top of your list: Pulp Fiction - a film trying way too hard to be "cool" and failing miserably, Twin Town beats it hands down as does One Foot In The Algarve. The rest of the films in your list are gay.
Magnanimous means generous. I'm going to be magnanimous and assume you knew that. Pulp Fiction's crackling dialogue, non linear narrative, cinematic quality, pop culture references, mixture of humour and violence, and esoteric soundtrack mark it out as a masterpiece.
Best porn I ever saw was a Dutch film called wet gap. It had a narrator in English, with a broad Dutch accent, who called the women Bunnies or worse. He read the script as though he was on match of the day, one line I'll never forget was at the climax of a scene, "And now it is time for ze cream, zhat's it man, rub it aaall on her baady, she's a nasty bitch".
Anyway; Casablanca - Michael Curtiz The Maltese Falcon - John Huston Bad Leiutenant - Abel Ferrera On The Waterfront - Elia Kazan Bram Stoker's Dracula - Francis Ford Coppola Taxi Driver - Martin Scorsese Oh Brother Where Art Thou - Joel and Ethan Coen Blade Runner - Ridley Scott Pulp Fiction - Quentin Tarantino
Casablanca - ****E! The Maltese Falcon - ****E! Bad Leiutenant - OK On The Waterfront - OVERRATED ****E! Bram Stoker's Dracula - ARE YOU ****IN KIDDIN ME? THE WORST OF ****E! Taxi Driver - OVERRATED Oh Brother Where Art Thou - GOOD Blade Runner - EXCELLENT Pulp Fiction - EXCELLENT For old B&W there are fantastic movies like "Double Indemnity", "Angels with Dirty Faces", "Key Largo", and many others. Casablanca, Falcon, and Waterfront are just crap. One of my personal favourite B&W movies of all time is "Days of Wine and Roses" featuring the inimitable Jack Lemon in a straight performance detailing the descent into alcoholism.

Utter ****e. Stanley Kubrick was an arsehole. He never made anything worth watching. Parts of "Dr Strangelove" were vaguely amusing.
Nup. Never liked him. At his best he was a second rate side kick to the great Jimmy Cagney. Edward G. would have done better in all Bogey's roles.
