While there is no agreement upon the greatest film of all time, many publications and organizations have tried to determine the films considered the greatest ever. The films mentioned in this article have all been mentioned in a notable survey — be it a critics' poll or popular poll. Many of these sources focus on American films or were polls of English-speaking filmgoers, but those considered the greatest within their respective countries are also included here. This article is about motion pictures. ...
None of these citations should be viewed as scientific measures of the film-watching world. All the surveys are flawed in one way or another. They are often influenced by vote-stacking or they survey a population with skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selecting audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. Sometimes (like in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to select films from a limited list of entries.
In polls of critics and filmmakers - Since 1952, the film magazine Sight & Sound has conducted a decennial poll of the greatest films every ten years. Originally, Ladri di Biciclette (Bicycle Thieves) received the most votes. According to noted film critic Roger Ebert, the Sight & Sound poll is "generally considered the most authoritative of all 'best film' lists".
- Orson Welles' Citizen Kane has been consistently voted number one in each of the last five Sight & Sound polls. A separate poll of established film directors, held for the first time in 1992, has also placed Citizen Kane at the top. The film was selected as number one in a Village Voice and in a Time Out critics' poll and was listed as the greatest American film twice by the American Film Institute in 1998 and 2007.
- La Règle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game) by director Jean Renoir was named the greatest film by the French film magazine Positif in 1991. It also holds the second slot in the Village Voice poll and is one of only two movies to have appeared in every one of the Sight & Sound polls.
- The Searchers is the film most often mentioned in a poll of the favorite films of directors by German language Steadycam magazine. [1]
- On Metacritic, The Godfather is the all-time best-reviewed movie if reissues are not taken into account. If reissues are taken into account, the highest-scoring film is Au Hasard Balthazar. Both films score a perfect 100%.
- Goodfellas was voted the greatest film of all time in 2005 by the editorial team of the magazine Total Film.[2]
- The Brussels World’s Fair, organized in 1958, offered the occasion for the organization by thousands of critics and filmmakers from all over the world, of the first universal film poll in history.[3]. These were the films chosen as most artistically fulfilled:

Concert - The Last Waltz: Martin Scorsese's chronicling of The Band's farewell concert on Thanksgiving Day in 1976. Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune calls it "The greatest rock concert movie ever made -- and maybe the best rock movie, period." Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press comments that "This is one of the great movie experiences."[18] The review at Total Film comments "In what is rightly considered the greatest concert film ever shot...."[19] Rolling Stone dubbed it the greatest film about music ever made. All Movie Guide said that the film is "considered to be [one] of the best-looking and sounding rock films ever".[20]
- Stop Making Sense (1984): Film critic James Berardinelli wrote that Jonathan Demme's capturing of the Talking Heads in concert was "the best concert film to date when it first came out, and nothing in the past decade-and-a-half has come close to toppling it from that position." Edward Guthmann of the San Francisco Chronicle had similar praise: "Has there ever been a live concert film as vibrant or as brilliantly realized? I don't think so."
