It is very easy to explain why the above films find their place at the top. It is impossible to explain why The Searchers, Pather Panchali, Salvatore Giuliano, I Soliti Ignoti, Chinatown, Stalker, The Traveling Players, La Grande Illusion, Dr. Strangelove, Once Upon A time In Anatolia and some dozens of other films are not present in this list. Tomorrow that may be an indictment I won’t be able to defend.
