I’ll admit that I haven’t yet seen many of the films you listed, either. However, of the ones I have seen — Contempt, City Lights, Modern Times, Breathless (just to be obstinant, I refuse to call it by the native title), 2 or 3 Things, Masculin Feminin, Band of Oustiders, Belle de Jour, The Devil’s Backbone, Sunrise — many of these I consider to be among the greatest films ever made.

…At least of what I have seen in my 32 short years…

Sunrise is possibly my favorite, definitely in my Top 5.

And Devil’s Backbone. Just how great is del Toro? Haven’t I been telling you this since the beginning of time? I still think this is possibly his best film (so far).

Interesting footnote: I know one of the producers of Hooligans.
