The top 100 films

The Times has named its top 100 films of all time. I won't give you the whole list, but I will give you the top 10, which includes some controversial choices: Casablanca, There Will Be Blood, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Chinatown, The Shining, Vertigo, Kes, Sunset Boulevard, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Godfather. Metropolis was No. 16, Gone with the Wind 28, La Dolce Vita 52, and Rashomon 61. Orson Welles' Touch of Evil was at 89 but Citizen Kane - usually near the top of such lists -"didn't cut the mustard", according to the compilers. Surprise high entries include Annie Hall at 17, Picnic at Hanging Rock 25, The Life of Brian 40, Terminator 2: Judgment Day 42, This is Spinal Tap 71, and Blazing Saddles 76.
