Recently, Sight and Sound, a film magazine, published their top 100 films of all time list. This is a list they publish every decade, incorporating new films and reconsidering the best of the best. Additionally, Variety, another film and entertainment magazine, published their top 100 as well.
From a quick glance, I can tell you that I've seen 40/100 of Sight and Sound's list and 60 of Variety's list. The Variety list strikes me as less pretentious and more "in touch" with the tastes of the...well, maybe not "average" moviegoer, but moviegoers who like both artsy-fartsy films and just plain old fun films.
So, for fun, I'm going to copy and paste each list below and bold the ones I've seen. At the bottom, I'll list out my top 25 picks from the two lists combined.
