For 70 years running, the British Film Institute’s Sight & Sound magazine has brought numerous voices in the film world together, once every 10 years, in a noble effort: To make every single movie nerd on the planet very angry by issuing a poll—tabulated from nearly a thousand critics and directors—supposedly listing the 100 greatest films of all time.

35 on the 2012 list, after spending the preceding two decades sitting in the mid-70s—has just scored the top spot as Sight & Sound’s official current best film of all time.

But that, of course, is the great thing about the Sight & Sound Poll: It crams an entire decade’s worth of film discourse into a single listing of 100 unambiguously great movies, then invites everybody on the planet to argue about it.
