Every Film Receiving Votes in Sight & Sound's 2012 Critic and Director Polls for the Greatest Films of All Time

Every ten years, Sight & Sound conducts a poll for the greatest films of all time. For the 2012 edition, 846 top tens were contributed by critics, programmers, academics, distributors, writers and other cinephiles from 73 countries for the Sight & Sound Critic Top 250 list. Also 358 directors contributed their top tens for the Sight & Sound Director Top 100 list.
