If this list is supposed to go with the TV special from last week, then it was the 100 greatest American films, not the greatest films in general, which is why they're all American, or produced by American studios.

I never got "The Godfather". I thought it was ok, but not first rate. I also don't get "2001". Two people explained the movie to me, and afterward, I understood it even less. "Sound of Music" is far from the best musical. It was enjoyable, and had good tunes, but "My Fair Lady" is far superior. Incidentally, if all you know about the Trapp Family comes from the movie, then you know nothing about them. Their real-life story just wouldn't make a good movie.
