Every ten years, Sight and Sound polls the world's film critics to release the greatest ten movies list. It's a fascinating snapshot on how critical consensus changes through time.

2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968)
The Searchers (Ford, 1956)
Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929)
The Passion of Joan of Arc (Dreyer, 1927)
8 ½ (Fellini, 1963)
The Directors’ Top 10 Greatest Films of All Time

Lets see if The Dark Knight knocks off Citizen Kane. 
Back to reality - can Vertigo finally make it to the top after it's 20 year climb?
This is Roger Ebert's Top 10 ballot for 2012 Sight and Sound:
Aguirre, Wrath of God (Herzog)
Apocalypse Now (Coppola)
Citizen Kane (Welles)
La Dolce Vita (Fellini)
The General (Keaton)
Raging Bull (Scorsese)
2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick)
Tokyo Story (Ozu)
The Tree of Life (Malick)
Vertigo (Hitchcock)

I am faced once again with the task of voting in Sight & Sound magazine's famous poll to determine the greatest films of all time. Apart from my annual year's best lists, this is the only list I vote in. It is a challenge. After voting in 1972, 1982 and 1992, I came up with these ten titles in 2002:
Aguirre, Wrath of God (Herzog) Apocalypse Now (Coppola) Citizen Kane (Welles) Dekalog (Kieslowski) La Dolce Vita (Fellini) The General (Keaton) Raging Bull (Scorsese) 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick) Tokyo Story (Ozu) Vertigo (Hitchcock)

I don't especially care much for Vertigo, but it's rise over the past few decades has been interesting.
Does Kane have enough left for one last hurrah?
The really notable change will come in 20 or 30 years when the Star Wars/comic-book-movie generation takes over completely.

Agreed.
While I jokingly poked at TDK...there's no denying that in the coming years these movies will be looked back on more seriously by the generation that adored them. The old guard like Ebert may like them but not in a serious way. I don't know his full take on comic book movies but he doesn't consider video game movies actual art.

Vertigo is #1!

I love Vertigo and I'm glad it has really gained so much critical praise lately. I am a huge Hitchcock fan and Vertigo is certainly my favorite of all his films and also probably my favorite film of all time. I've surely seen it more than any other film.

I have no issue with that. You knew there was a time when people were going to finally get tired of putting Citizen Kane #1.

"The rise to the top “is testament to how Hitchcock’s reputation has steadily increased over time,” the magazine noted."
Look at our Directors poll thread regarding Hitchcock.
Vertigo is just a beautiful thriller.
7. The Searchers (Ford, 1956)
And a Western makes it.

You've got to be kidding me. I swear I think I will die never understanding why people think this is a great movie/why it's considered one of the best films of all time. It blows my mind. I really really want to rant about this. I actually enjoy doing it. But I won't. I'll be a better man. I won't complain about people always wanting something from me because I'm rich. I won't be a puss and act like its a burden for me to bang some of the hottest brauds of all time while cheating on my wife. I won't act like writers block is the worst thing known to mankind since man has been around. I also won't basically make a biography of all this. Because that would say how much of a douche I am. I won't ever do that and would never want anyone else to do that because I would hate them if they did. So I'm not going to rant because I am better than that.

I must admit I always thought it was The Godfather that would topple Kane.
As I said, I've never really cared for Vertigo, so now I guess I know how all you anti-Beatles people feel.
Well actually I already did, since I hate Seinfeld.
IMHO this is just a historical blip, and the truly significant polls will start 10 and definitely 20 years from now. Star Wars anyone?

I would like if they broke the voting down by decade...and then taking the #1 from each - re-vote on the overall Top 10 - just to take a different look at things and get people interested in other films.

I think we need a movie electoral college
Posted on 8/1/12 at 2:01 pm to Kafka
Hitchcock is my favorite director but Vertigo is maybe my 3rd-5th best Hitchcock film. I much prefer Dial M for Murder over it and Psycho. The 39 Steps as well. It gets tuff putting them in order after that. Rear Window, The Lady Vanishes and North By Northwest are up there as well.

Im a little disappointing in having not heard of some of these movies.

If it is any comfort I have a high level of disdain for the opinion that Apocalyse Now is great.
It has some iconic scenes but it is ultimately poorly focused and without meaning... and I don't understand how anyone who is moderately informed (watched "hearts of darkness") could fail to understand this

Critic's List:
I do have a problem that 3 of the Top 10 movies are from the 1920's. We need to move on.
And there's not one single movie listed in the last 40 years.
Director's List:
I also find it odd that Director's rank this so highly - would like to hear their opinion...maybe they watched the doc "Hearts of Darkness" too and figured...he deserves some award for putting up with those actors and that mess of a production.
So the critics favor the 20's, 30's and 50's and the director's favor (their peers) - the 70's.
