Sight & Sound Magazine, every ten years since 1952, has published the results of their pollings of the world's leading film critics, to compile a list of the Ten Best Films of All Time.

Facts and Commentary About the List:

• As a qualification of what 'greatest' means, Sight & Sound's invitation letter stated to the participants in the polling: "We leave that open to your interpretation. You might choose the ten films you feel are most important to film history, or the ten that represent the aesthetic pinnacles of achievement, or indeed the ten films that have had the biggest impact on your own view of cinema."
  
• Filmsite has compiled results of the British film magazine's polling, and published them below.

Note: The films that are marked with a yellow star are the films that "The Greatest Films" site has selected as the "100 Greatest Films".
