Sight & Sound has launched its newest record of the 100 best movies of all time. The record hits simply as soon as a decade and this time it was culled from the highest 10 ballots of over 1,600 movie critics, teachers, programmers, curators, and archivists from around the globe. And as you may think from an outline of the train, it’s leaves loads of room for each appreciation and disagreement.
As with each earlier model of the record, Sight & Sounds 2022 high 100 is stacked entrance to again with nice movies, even when there are a number of inclusions that appear a little bit baffling if we’re limiting ourselves to simply 100 films.
Maybe essentially the most notable change this time round is the introduction of a brand new primary film: Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, Chantal Akerman’s masterful slice-of-life drama. The newest six lists have had both Vertigo or Citizen Kane on the high of the rankings (Kane was the highest canine for 5 consecutive many years), and people two films don’t fall far this 12 months, slotting in instantly behind Jeanne Dielman. However like yearly there are many different shake ups and too many strikes up or down the record to notice all of them right here.
In fact, finally the one actual results of a listing this complete is to level out how most of the best films ever aren’t included. It doesn’t matter what, a listing like this can have biases, faults, sticking factors, and ridiculous inclusions or omissions. However that’s the enjoyable of a listing claiming such authority: it’s exceedingly enjoyable to argue with!
So, within the spirit of record making and its inevitable and meant outcomes, right here’s the highest 20 film’s from Sight & Sounds 2022 record (you could find the remainder of the highest 100, together with the marginally higher administrators ballot record, on the Sight and Sound web site):
