If you only go out of your way for one of those it should be On the Waterfront. Most of those others are great movies (I wouldn't really put Birth of a Nation, Close Encounters, or The Jazz Singer on the list, they are more valuable as oddities advancing cinema than as films themselves). But On the Waterfront is truly a great one.

Just to be clear, I like Close Encounters a lot! I just don't think it really goes on the list of the 100 greatest films of all time.
