For me that would be Apocalypse Now, but The Godfather would be my second choice.

I don't think any one film is worthy of that honor.
Off the top of my head, here are some of the best:
The Conversation
The English Patient - Don't laugh.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Three Colors: Red
Aguirre: The Wrath of God
Dersu Uzala
The Sweet Hereafter
Dawn of the Dead
Taxi Driver
The Empire Strikes Back
Once Were Warriors
Wings of Desire

Good way to wrap up the tourney, George. I'll have to give it a little thought. Aw, shucks, too bad Tomlin can't get his big pick.

 

[Walter Kittel]

George,
2001: A Space Odyssey, if it makes it into the 35 year window, otherwise Raging Bull
Honorable mentions for -
A Clockwork Orange
The Godfather
The Sweet Hereafter
Miller's Crossing
Pulp Fiction
Taxi Driver
Some of my personal favorites during this time span ( I don't always equate best with favorite, but hey that's me ) are:
The Right Stuff
Chariots of Fire
A River Runs Throught It
The Last of the Mohicans
Lone Star
The English Patient
- Walter.
