IN TIERS, EACH IN YEAR ORDER. Placings based on various polls, lists, selections, awards, ratings etc, especially on Mubi and the latest Sight & Sound poll, with leeway for hidden treasures and personal taste.

The list is intended as a manageable selection and a guide for where best to start. Comments, suggestions welcome.
