The Sight & Sound Greatest Films Of All Time 2012
The ''Sight & Sound'' Greatest Films of All Time 2012 was a worldwide opinion poll conducted by ''Sight & Sound'' and published in the magazine's September 2012 issue. ''Sight & Sound'', published by the British Film Institute, has conducted a poll of the greatest films every 10 years since 1952. Criteria For this poll, ''Sight & Sound'' listened to decades of criticism about the lack of diversity of its poll participants and made a huge effort to invite a much wider variety of critics and filmmakers from around the world to participate, taking into account gender, ethnicity, race, geographical region, socioeconomic status, and other kinds of underrepresentation. A new rule was imposed for this ballot: related films that are considered part of a larger whole (e.g. ''The Godfather'' and ''The Godfather Part II'', Krzysztof Kieślowski's '' Three Colors trilogy'' and ''Dekalog'', or Satyajit Ray's ''The Apu Trilogy'') were to be treated as separate films for voting purposes.

BBC's 100 Greatest Foreign-Language Films
BBC's 100 Greatest Foreign Language Films is a list compiled in 2018 by BBC Culture, as part of their annual critics' poll. Selection criteria BBC Culture polled 209 film critics from 43 countries, asking them to submit their list of the 10 greatest foreign-language movies (i.e. not in English). As with other BBC Culture 100 Greatest polls, the ranking was established by a point system: ten points awarded to the film ranked first, nine to the film ranked second and so forth. Criticism Writing for '' Vanity Fair'', K. Austin Collins lamented the predictability of the list - "heavy on works from Europe and East Asia; low on women; low on avant garde and documentary filmmaking" - and the absence of popular genres such as Nollywood, Bollywood or Giallo, arguing that "a truly worthy list of this nature wouldn’t be so snobby about high and low culture. It’d be a glorious, messy mix of arthouse and pop, as any list about the greatest art—rather than the greatest textbook art— ...

Filmsite
Filmsite is a film-review website established in 1996 by senior editor and film critic-historian Tim Dirks, and continues to be managed and edited by him for over two decades. Overview The site contains over 300 detailed reviews of English language films for which Dirks argues "there is reasonable consensus by most film historians, critics and reviewers" regarding their status as revered movies. Criteria for Dirks' selections include a film's technical innovations, recognition from award shows, accessibility to audiences, and influence on its genre. Although the "Greatest Films" lists do not include foreign language films and therefore exclude various widely acclaimed movies, Dirks makes clear that they are intended to be geared toward classical Hollywood cinema of the 20th century, and briefly discusses foreign films in many other areas of the site. In many cases, a review goes through a film scene-by-scene. The site also contains many other lists, and pages offering an introd ...
