VSM: Ebert's Great Movies, part 1

Who says I can't watch two marathons at the same time?

Moving at a reasonable pace, and assuming he keeps adding new movies to his list on a regular basis, it would take more than a decade to watch all of Roger Ebert's Great Movies. If nothing else, it's a reminder that I'll never run out of good movies to watch - by the time I'd finish watching the last of them, I wouldn't remember watching the first of them.  Well.  Here we go.  Starting with the contents of Book I, sorted according to the articles' dates on his website: the first 13 Great Movies.
