I think it's quite good top 10.The Rules Of The Game seems interesting,never heard of it before.

Cheers for posting this up, a great list that I'll hopefully complete viewing over the course of my life

Been having a look through it and it has got most films you would expect on there. Noticed that The Sting is missing though, watched that recently, loved it and it won 7 Oscars. Noticed that the same website do a film noir list as well which might come in handy, can't believe I've never heard/seen this before

awesome sharing man. this is really i like it. top 10 is the best.
thanks for sharing this.

While the top 10 is fairly safe as usual, they have interesting statistics compiled on the overall list by showing each film's placement through the years. It's very interesting to see how critical consensus changes through the years, I think it makes complete sense that films like Streetcar are losing support and interest from critics. It's great to see that Apichatpong Weerasethakul is clearly getting more exposure, he's one of the best directors to come out of the 21st century.

Great top 10 they have, although there's a few films on there I still need to see.How i'd rate the ones I have seen:
Citizen Kane
Vertigo
2001:A Space Odyssey
The Godfather
The Searchers
Seven Samurai

There is a lot of noise in there. They even included Scorcese's favorite films there.

Wonderful list.

NICE!


It's a shame Altman's The Player and Scorsese's After Hours didn't make it, though.

Of course there is, it's inherent in the act of compilation. Lists are interesting for two things: consensus and opinion, depending on the quantity of voters. For something like this, we can make it interesting by looking at broad trends in critical consensus, which requires a lot of filtering no matter what list we examine.

Glad to see some of my favs make the list. Though I still say Taxi Driver is rated too low. But at least Seven Samurai is in the Top 10.
