The problem with lists are that they are never entirely objective, that's what makes your top 10 your top 10. I once tried listing my top 100, still trying to narrow it down - it's hard to dismiss works by Kurosawa, Bergman, Ford, and such even when not at their very best.
Point in question - I can't agree with you the La Dolce Vita is Fellini at his best (for me La Strada, Nights of Cabiria) but how can you dismiss the piece?
I could rattle on for ages about just the 11 films you have listed, but mercifully won't. Just say that you have listed two of my very favourites; Les Enfants du Paradis and The Wild Bunch (was Peckinpah the greatest Western director? Love Ride The High Country. Excellent as he was, give me Ford at his best - The Searchers, Stagecoach).
