List of films considered the best

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Citizen Kane (1941), starring Orson Welles, has topped several international polls, including five Sight & Sound critics' polls

This is a list of films considered "the best ever", so voted in a notable national or international survey of either critics or the public.

Some surveys focus on all films, while others focus on a particular genre or country. Voting systems differ from poll to poll: some surveys suffer from biases such as self-selection or skewed demographics, while others may be susceptible to forms of interference such as vote-stacking.

Critics and filmmakers

Sight & Sound

Vertigo (1958) was ranked number one in the most recent Sight & Sound critics' poll

Every decade, starting in 1952, the British film magazine Sight & Sound asks an international group of film critics to vote for the greatest film of all time.
