    Default Vertigo best film of all time?

    I love Vertigo. Easily one of my favourite films. It deserves the recognition more than Citizen Kane, imo.

    But best of all time?
    Perhaps not

    Not my fave. Not even a top 10 for me. But I got no beef with this.
    Ha!

    Nobody will ever ever agree fully on the best film of all time, it's far too subjective.

    No Cool Running's in the top ten greatly disturbs me.

    The only one I've watched of those was #6.

    I didn't actually look at the list in my first post, I just commented on Vertigo. Now that I've seen it:

    I'd actually have 2001 in my Top 10 as well more than likely. 8 1/2 wouldn't be in mine but it's a very deserving movie. The Man with a Movie Camera is an INTERESTING choice, because it's a fantastic movie that was really influential, but there have been better movies. I'm actually surprised, given the fact a movie like that is included, that a movie like Seven Samurai wasn't.

    I like lists.
    Ha!

    A top notch Hitchcock film. Best film of all time? I'd say no.
