I guess it's a sign of getting old when I see the world classic and expect Gone With the Wind and Casablanca, but instead the list has Arrival, The Martian, and the Bourne Identity. The Sixth Sense is on the list for the US and it's a movie I coincidentally rewatched last night, again finding it to be a masterpiece.
In any case, very different list in Canada: Rocketman, Ford v Ferrari, Little Miss Sunshine, Catch Me If You Can, Jurassic Park, and the Proposal.
And, for those of you reading down this far, some videos of related material.
Not on "The Transformed Man"--but on YouTube for your pleasure--is another famous Shatner interpretation, this one of "Rocketman": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvQwXOCKNLY&feature=related
(And: DeForest Kelley, reacting to a tape of this, as you might expect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYGUyYcCuMA).
More recently, Shatner got to do this stuff for Priceline: "Freebird": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em-mjpaL2hs
From the Futurama episode w/the ST:TOS cast,"The Real Slim Shady": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmYQfFWEiYo
Lastly, another (in)famous interpretation, Leonard Nimoy's "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPh12Q7cpeE
