	10 Greatest Films of All Time Polls by Sight & Sound Magazine Every ten years since 1952, Sight & Sound Magazine has published the results of their pollings of the world's leading film critics who were asked to "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." Thus, the compiled critics' lists would then determine which films stood the test of time in the face of shifting critical opinion. Ultimately, a list of the critics' Top 100 films was determined based upon all of the votes. This listing includes the top ten films from the latest 2022 poll, and from each previous decade.

	100 Favorite British Films of the 20th Century by the British Film Institute Early in 1999, the British Film Institute produced a selection booklet and sent copies to 1,000 people embracing all strands of the film, cinema and television industries throughout the UK - producers, directors, writers, actors, technicians, academics, exhibitors, distributors, executives and critics. Participants were asked to consider (and vote for up to 100) 'culturally British' feature films, released in cinemas during the 20th century, which they felt had made a strong and lasting impression.

As the leading film historian and critic Maltin admitted, "these are not the only great films of the century, or the only ones worth seeing."
	National Film Registry Titles by Library of Congress In 1988, the Library of Congress established the National Film Preservation Board to preserve 25 films each year to add to the National Film Registry.

As they admitted, it's a more personal and idiosyncratic list: "It's not a list of the best 100 films ever made, or the most important. It doesn't represent a condensed history of the feature film, with all periods and movements represented." They figured that any film history book could tell you to see Griffith's Intolerance (1916) or Keaton's The General (1927), and chances are you've already seen Casablanca (1942), The Godfather (1972) and Raging Bull (1980).
