Which film do you consider to be a masterpiece?

I've seen thousands of films but there are only two that I might consider masterpieces, both directed by Hitchcock: "Vertigo" and "Rear Window". They aren't my only favourites by him, but they're two that at might consider come close to that description.

The Godfather.

@SubstantialKick What did you think of parts two and three, I wonder? Coppola did a re-edit for television, putting the first and second parts into chronological order and I think it was an improvement. I love the first two. Only watched the third one once at the cinema and once on disc. Wasn't a bad film in my opinion, but nowhere near the first two.

@PhilDeep Part II is just as good as the first one, and maybe just a bit better. Part III put me to sleep, lol.
