I don't know, I whimsically made an alternative list the other day that included nothing from my original list or the Top 100 here and it was trivially easy to come up with 25 different films that could have made my top 25. So, I think of lists like this as being pretty ephemeral, a snapshot of a moment but not really a definitive measure of quality. Too many variables, too much (as mentioned above) whim. Which is part of the fun of it, frankly. It's true certain movies (2001, The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Vertigo, etc.) tend to show up regularly on such lists. It speaks to their quality and influence, but also to a virtuous circle where the regular appearance of these movies on these lists ensures that they are seen by more people and therefore ... appear on more of these lists. That's the why the full list is so much more interesting to me, because that's where the more esoteric and idiosyncratic stuff shows up.
I've never seen Sansho the Bailiff.
