3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 should be top 200 at most

Vertigo lmao

It's fine

Post your top 10

Top 10 films or 10 films I consider the greatest?

Fine.
Both.

>No Drive
>No Blade Runner 2049
>No Joker
>No TDKR
>No Star Wars: The Last Jedi
>No Lolita
>No Gremlins 2
>No Cannibal Holocaust
>No Space Cop
>No Raimi cut of Spider Man 3

It's OK, it's pretty hard to actually choose 10 movies out of the countless thousands that've been made over the last 100 years. Choosing Vertigo over Citizen Kane is exactly the kind of contrarianism I thought this board would love.

>Choosing Vertigo over Citizen Kane is exactly the kind of contrarianism I thought this board would love.

The list was made from polling directors and movie critics. It's the popular opinion among experts, therefore it's the contrarian thing to think Citizen Kane is better than Vertigo.

>man with a movie camera
lol

Yikes.

2001 should be 1st, Citizen Kane above Vertigo, 8 1/2 should be slightly lower. The Searchers slightly lower. Id add Raging Bull at number 10.

Also, in general, the list isn't that great because it lacks a certain objectivity. I don't want to call it nostalgia, but if the greatest film of all time came out tomorrow, it would take 20 years before it made the top 100 of this list.

desu it's more fun to look through the voters lists and see what they individually think is the top 10 best movies.

I like Zizek's list:

>This time, I opted for pure madness: the list contains only ‘guilty pleasures’, from two screen versions of Ayn Rand to a top Nazi melodrama, from David Lynch’s greatest flop to height of musical kitsch, from a low-budget Hollywood action thriller to a Chinese big-budget historical spectacle, plus a half-forgotten Western and two marginal noirs. This is what I really enjoy – no compromises for high quality or good taste.

>3.10 to Yuma (1957)
>Dune (1984)
>Fountainhead (1948)
>Great Sacrifice, The (1944)
>Hero (2002)
>Hitman (2007)
>Nightmare Alley (1947)
>Noi Vivi (1942)
>On Dangerous Ground (1951)
>Sound of Music, The (1965)

Cringe

The list is assembled by combining the top 10 lists of hundreds of critics

I look at these a lot, they have both the critic's and director's polls. Directors like Scorsese more than critics, and they place Tokyo Story at number one.

Vertigo is incredibly overrated. It's almost criminal.

They ARE in the top 200.

Yeah I don't think it's better than Citizen Kane, or that it's even Hitchcock's best.

Totally agree with you. Also Man With a Movie Camera should be a few spots higher, and A Man Escaped should be in there instead of 8 1/2.

Some of these are grossly overrated due to their time period.

Film may owe to its predecessors but that doesn't mean it's predecessors justify themselves on a list of the greatest.

need proof Yas Forums's full of idiots? here's your thread
>don't understand how the poll works, think "some magazine" just arbitrarily ranked them based off of what they liked best
>classics don't deserve classic status just because they're classics, new shit's better because it's new
>other people's opinions about movies should be the same as mine, I'M the authority on movies on planet Earth

need proof Yas Forums's full of idiots? here's your thread
>classics deserve classic status just because they're old, new shit's worse because it's new
>I'm not allowed to disagree with old farts because they make money in the film industry, I have to pretend this list is an objective indicator of quality

Citizen Kane is more overrated than Vertigo. Just because the former made a bunch of people butthurt doesn’t really matter, just watch Corbett report or something if you want that.

so defensive because he knows how wrong he is

It's almost as if people have different opinions

The Rules Of The Game is not bad, but its reputation is that of being a long-lost film that also was unappreciated when it was released because it said rich people were bad. My guess is that TRotG is low on each individual ballot, but appears on a lot of ballots

Which films specifically?
Ballots actually aren't ranked, you just submit 10 films.

I don’t really know how to gauge it specifically, but the Last Temptation of Christ is in my top 10 for sure.

Why do critics like Vertigo that much? It's alright, but it's not even Hitchcock's top 5.
