I haven't seen half of these. Just Vertigo, Citizen Kane, The Searchers, and 2001. I've been meaning to watch Tokyo Story for some time though.

Ebert's getting senile...putting Aguirre and that jesuitical malick sentimental stuff in the same list is beyond contradictory.

Damn. I have only seen the top two (I would agree with their order there though).
Posted on 8/1/12 at 9:25 pm to OMLandshark
I've seen them all except Tokyo Story
I would not put Vertigo or 8 ½ on the list
I would not put 2001 anywhere near it

I've never even heard of La Regle du jeu and Sunrise: a Song for Two Humans.

La Regle du jeu = Rules Of The Game (Jean Renoir)
Watch online
Sunrise is a Hollywood film directed by F.W. Nurnau, who had made Nosferatu in Germany

Maybe Vertigo winning was a mistake, since they made at least one other one on the lists:

Worth watching. Quite brilliant. If City Lights didn't make me feel like I was floating on a cloud every time I watch it, this might be my favorite silent film.

Nice reply after your obnoxious post.
Grow up dude.

I love sunrise as well. Great film, though I agree about City Lights.
I do think this list is beginning to drift into canon. While S&S used to be pretty radical with lots of movement between the polls, it now seems we are settling in to a somewhat stodgy "everything great has already been done" kind of list. I am disturbed there isn't a film post-1970 on it, particularly since the 1970s are a golden age of film.
These are a lot of Foundational Films, and they are important and even great to watch now, but it gives the impression that movies aren't moving forward as a medium. And it is. Quite radically.
Also, look at the truly great directors absent -- no Bergman, Scorcese, or Kurosawa? That's pretty much, along with Hitchcock, where your film education should begin.

Also why make a big deal of doing it every ten years if its just going to be the same movies just in a different order every time? "Do the critics call each other and say 'O wowo you put Vertigo number one this year instad of three?? You are a badass.'"
Posted on 8/2/12 at 11:49 am to Baloo
I like the director's list much better than the critic's list.
I don't really understand the love for Vertigo, but I haven't seen it in years. Maybe I'd like it better on a repeat viewing.

BUMP
Citizen Kane is the greatest film of all time.
here's two quotes i pulled from the article

you can break down every scene in citizen kane and find it's brilliancy. the way it was shot. the way it sounds. the way it looks.
no movie before and no movie since...

In the last decade I’ve watched this first feature many times, and each time, it reveals new treasures. Clearly, no single film is the greatest ever made. But if there were one, for me Kane would now be the strongest contender, bar none—Geoff Andrew
All celluloid life is present in Citizen Kane; seeing it for the first or umpteenth time remains a revelation—Trevor Johnston

By far the most interesting thing about this poll is that the guy in charge allegedly made it very clear to voters that he did not want Citizen Kane to win again

Yes, he voted for Anchorman

That ballot is awesome. What's wrong with voting for a comedy, which is one of the hardest kind of films to make?

I don't want to waste my time arguing with El Gaucho. Do you really believe most of those films belong in a discussion of the ten greatest of all time?
At best, it's an upset-the-apple-cart-just-to-see-which-way-the-apples-roll list (from D.H. Lawrence's "A Sane Revolution", the anthem of pointless immature rebellion). Change for the sake of change.
At worst, he really believes in that list. And that's scary.

Are we voting for what's on the screen or degree of difficulty of production? Titanic was pretty tough to make too.
And specifically, Anchorman is not a great comedy. It's not even a particularly good comedy. And I don't have to bring up Buster Keaton or the Marx Brothers. There are dozens of episodes of Get Smart or Futurama that blow Anchorman out of the water.
Posted on 8/16/12 at 9:11 pm to Kafka
While that wouldn't be my list, I think that list is pretty defensible. I think comedies are generally underrated and while I would likely choose a different comedy, I have no problem with someone selecting a comedy. And everything else on that list likely showed up on at least one other ballot. Hell, I would certainly vote for the The Thing as one of the top ten films ever made, and I would strongly consider Alien, Empire, and Once Upon a Time for my personal list.
