100 of the forum members at theauteurs.com recently combined top 10 films of all time lists to make a ‘definitive’ Top 10 best films of all time list, inspired by Sight & Sound’s decade Top 10s. I participated in this list, so I thought I should post the final results here, in the lists section. A pretty boring list, but two of my choices made the cut:
