Sight & Sound magazine and the British Film Institute put out their once-every-decade poll of greatest films. The top ten: 1. Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles2. Vertigo3. Citizen Kane4. Tokyo Story5. In the Mood for Love6. 2001: A Space Odyssey7. Beau Travail8. Mulholland Dr.9. Man with a Movie Camera10. Singin’ in the Rain The poll, which first started in 1952 and had come to be the definitive film list, now has a controversial and brand new #1 film for this decade: Chantal Ackerman’s 1975 piece of slow cinema. And this episode, we discuss: - the expansion of the voter-base leading to the controversy- Paul Schrader’s reaction on Facebook decrying the poll being “woke”;- which titles were dropped between 2012 and 2022;- and the distinction between polls of “favorites” and “GREATEST.” Also: - how the poll ensconced Citizen Kane into the top spot for so long;- the poll’s history of top tens;- the age of those top ten titles at the time each decade’s poll;- and the lists’ preference for titles over filmographies. The Sight & Sound/BFI list can be found here.
