Earlier this month, Sight & Sound released its list of the Top 50 Films of All-Time as decided by critics along with Top 10 lists from various big-name directors.  The major "news" was that on the critics' list, Vertigo overtook Citizen Kane as "The Greatest Movie of All Time™".  Sight & Sound is worth talking about because they only make it once a decade.  However, the list should really only be used as a guide for what every cinephile should see in their lifetime.  The fact that Vertigo has a number "1" in front of it doesn't really mean much since you could watch Vertigo and Citizen Kane together in an afternoon.  Today, Sight & Sound has released its full Top 250 list and that's where you'll find other classics like Blade Runner, North by Northwest, Modern Times, and more.  Sight & Sound has also released the critics' individual Top 10 lists, and that's worth exploring into if you have the time.The Playlist has helpfully transcribed the Top 100.  Click here for the full 250, and click here for the critics' individual Top 10 lists.vertigo-movie-poster1.
