Years ago, when I first discovered films, and I started to absorb all the information that I could from guides and reference books, I came across the Sight and Sound ten-yearly lists of the greatest films ever made , as voted for by an august group of film critics. There was a sense of awe at titles I had yet to see, such as Citizen Kane , Bicycles Thieves , Ugetsu Monogatari or Battleship Potemkin , and fascination at how changing tastes brought new films into favour and old certainties fall away with each
In 1982 I eagerly devoured what was the fourth to be held, where Citizen Kane retained its top place (I had seen it by then and respected it deeply), followed by La Règle du jeu , Seven Samurai , Singin’ in the Rain , and so on. I naturally thought of what my own top ten would be and wondered if anyone would ever seek out my opinion – unlikely since I had neither the ambition or ability to be a film critic.
