Terence Davies, Guillermo del Toro, Andrew Dominik and Paul Greengrass – Your Favourite Filmmakers’ Favourite Films Part 2

August 4, 2012 by admin

This month’s Sight and Sound dropped through my letterbox this morning, and in it contained their once-a-decade Top 10 Films of all Time, as voted for by critics and filmmakers. If you’ve been living as a recluse in your own personal Xanadu, Orson Welles, who’s been number one for the past half century, got Citizen Kaned by Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (James Stewart).

In the issue, Sight and Sound also included “100 sample entries” representing “edited highlights of the 358 voting entries we recieved for the 2012 Directors’ Poll.” The whole bunch will be available online from 22nd August, but until then, here’s Part 2 of our own sample of your favourite filmmakers’ favourite films…
