List of Lists

I'm stealing again. I am sick and I'm going to take a shortcut. In keeping with my lists, I found this from the NYTimes from December 2012. I like  number 81 and spent a good 20 minutes reading the reasons behind the picks for best albums of all times. I've seen No. 73 before - and tried for several years to see those movies on the list. I loved George Carlin's famous list of off-limits words and was able to recite the Ten Commandments (No. 4) from memory. What's your fav?
