super interesting stuff. It's the 2002 Sight and Sound Top Ten Poll which has the top films of all time as voted on by critics in one poll and directors in another. They are two separate polls and you can even find individual critics or directors and see what their top films were.
It also has top 10 directors chosen by critics and directors.
Here's the critic's top 10:
Citizen Kane
Vertigo
The Rules of the Game
Godfather I & II
Tokyo Story
2001: A Space Odyssey
Battleship Potempkin
Sunrise
8 1/2
Singin' in the Rain
some that barely missed the cut:
Seven Samurai
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Breathless
The General
Touch of Evil
Jules and Jim
Here's the director's top 10 (this actually has 11 due to ties):
Citizen Kane
Godfather I & II
8 1/2
Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Strangelove
Bicycle Thieves
Raging Bull
Vertigo
The Rules of the Game
Rashomon
Seven Samurai
barely missing the cut:
2001: A Space Odyssey
The Apartment
La Dolce Vita
Apocalypse Now
Psycho
Fun stuff. I'll probably spend the next three hours looking at the top 10 lists of various people...
