A Top 100 Films of All-Time

It is time once again for a Top 100 Films of All-Time list. As I've done for the last couple of years, the first ten spots are a hypothetical Sight & Sound-style ballot, which we discuss on this week's episode of The George Sanders Show. They're ordered here reverse-chronologically. The remaining 90 films were randomly selected from a consideration set of 858 films, which excluded films that made my Top Tens in 2012 and 2013.
