British magazine Sight & Sound has unveiled the latest iteration of its once-a-decade list of the "greatest films of all time." The polling this year was opened to an even wider range of participants, which might be one reason why perennial #1 Citizen Kane was bumped down a notch in favor of Vertigo (a move somewhat anticipated by us earlier). The other, less publicized upset: Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin has dropped out of the top 10 completely for the first time in the poll's history, but has been replaced by another Soviet montage silent classic, Dziga Vertov's Man With a Movie Camera. A discussion about the list has been raging for over a year in our forum and has peaked with the reveal of the poll's results, and David Hudson at Fandor has rounded up commentary. The full top 10:
1. Vertigo
2. Citizen Kane
3. Tokyo Story
4. The Rules of the Game
5. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
7. The Searchers
8. Man with a Movie Camera
9. The Passion of Joan of Arc
10. 8 1/2
