Once a decade, Sight & Sound asks film critics to select a list of 10 greatest movies of all time. These wonks came up with a list of 10 films that I bet most of you haven't seen before. The earliest one dated from 1927 (Sunrise: A Song for Two Humans by F.W. Murnau) and latest one made is all the way from 1968 (2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubric).
So, our pal Stefan Blitz from Forces of Geek asked the same question to his colleagues, and came up with a very different list. Compare the two:
| Sight & Sound Critic's Poll 2012 | Stefan Blitz, Forces of Geek |
| 1. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958) | 1. Jaws |
| 2. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) | 2. Diner |
| 3. Tokyo Story (Yasujiro Ozu, 1953) | 3. Superman: The Movie |
| 4. La Regle du jeu (Jean Renoir, 1939) | 4. Raiders of the Lost Ark |
| 5. Sunrise: A Song for Two Humans (F.W. Murnau, 1927) | 5. The Godfather |
| 6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968) | 6. Animal House |
| 7. The Searcher (John Ford, 1956) | 7. Flash Gordon |
| 8. Man With a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929) | 8. The Empire Strikes Back |
| 9. The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1927) | 9. North by Northwest |
| 10. 8½ (Federico Fellini, 1963) | 10. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein |
