Sight and Sound: All the Films Added and Dropped From the Top 100

December 10, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

Much thanks to Edo Choi for this assessment.

As one can see below, about a quarter of the Sight and Sound’s too 100 list changed from 2012, with major showings for a number of women filmmakers—Agnès Varda, Chantal Akerman, Julie Dash, Jane Campion, Barbara Loden, Céline Sciamma, Maya Daren, and Věra Chytilová.

The male filmmakers who cracked the top 100 we’re Wong Kar-wai, Hayao Miyazaki, Charles Burnett, Spike Lee, Jordan Peele, Barry Jenkins, and Bong Joon-ho.

Additions:

Get Out, Black Girl, Tropical Malady, Parasite, Chungking Express, The Shining, Céline and Julie Go Boating, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, The Gleaners and I, The Red Shoes, Goodfellas, Daughters of the Dust, Moonlight, The Apartment, News from Home, The Piano, Wanda, Killer of Sheep, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Daisies, Do the Right Thing, Meshes of the Afternoon, Cléo from 5 to 7

Dropped:

The Godfather Part II, Gertrud, Raging Bull, Touch of Evil, The Mother and the Whore, Pickpocket, Rio Bravo, Chinatown, Nashville, Le Grande Illusion, Les Enfants du Paradise, L’Eclisse, Lawrence of Arabia, The Magnificent Ambersons, Fanny and Alexander, The Seventh Seal, Un Chien Andalou, Aguirre the Wrath of God, Greed, The Wild Bunch, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Intolerance, A Day in the Country, The Color of Pomegranates

Lost amidst the chaotic debate was the fact that Scorsese’s “Goodfellas” (#32) finally made the top 100. “Raging Bull,” which many considered to be his best film, was taken out.

Billy Wilder’s “The Apartment” is also, for the first time, in the top 100. You can pick and choose which Wilder is the greatest, there’s an assortment of titles to choose from. It’s great to see another one of his films enter the equation. All deserving high recognition: “Double Indemnity,” “The Lost Weekend,” “Sunset Boulevard,” “Ace in the Hole,” “Some Like it Hot” and “The Apartment”

Finally, more than 40 years since its release, and unwarranted Razzie win, Stanley Kubrick has had the last laugh as his, originally, terribly reviewed “The Shining” cemented its place as one of the greats, it finished at #85 in the 2022 Poll.
