Some are woefully underranked:
Fritz Lang at 25th, Sergai Eisenstein at 37th, Michael Powell at 34rd, Elia Kazan at 55rd (baffling), William Wyler at 62th, Ozu at 66th, De Sica at 46th, Lubitsch at 73rd(!), Cukor at 108th (not in the top 100?), Von Sternberg at 111th (also out of the top 100). I'm sure most of these were hurt by being bypassed in the popular polls, and only scoring on the critics polls.

Highest ranked directors for only one listed title:

1. Charles Laughton (10, Night of the Hunger) - Due to its tepid reception, Laughton vowed to never again direct another film and he kept that promise
2. Joseph L. Manckiewicz (41, All About Eve)
3. Gillo Pontecorvo (60, Battle of Algiers)
4. Curtis Hanson (61, L.A. Confidential)
5. John Frankenheimer (81, Manchurian Candidate) - Ronin, The Train, and Seven Days in May should also be ranked

Leading Film Totals by Directors in the Top 1000

These are the highest film counts by individual directors in our Top Ranked 1000 Films (all polls), 2011 edition.

Andy Warhol and Alfred Hitchcock


Similar to the last poll in 2009, but at the top Hitchcock lost 2 titles down to 14, Godard dropped 4 films to 12 - they were tied last time. Scorsese obviously picked up Shutter Island and jumped up a little in count, as Bergman also lost a couple. Kubrick's 11 films represent his ENTIRE filmography! That's the most amazing feat on this list, plus he has 6 in the top 100, easily the most of any director.

5. Kubrick, Stanley 11
5. Kurosawa, Akira 11
7. Buñuel, Luis 10

- Carol Reed - 3 (missing Outcast of the Islands and Oliver!)
- Sydney Pollack – just 1
- Joseph Losey – just 1
- Chen Kaige, China - 0 (Together, Farewell My Concubine, The Promise)

If that 29 titles holds for 2010 (or even the 24 for 2009) those would be the most in the 1000 for any one year (19 is the current high), but so many are near the bottom that they will certainly fall over time - in fact, I'd say all those in the 900's will likely be gone next time.

Top Ranked 1000 Films, 2011 Edition



New Top Ranked 1000 Films on the Net
All Polls Combined (Updated July 11, 2011)
© William Lawrence Sinclair

For this new addition, we updated the lists from the internet that are kept updating constantly in real-time, as well as adding a new major film site's fan list of favorites, the first 1000 films there.

[This July update removed some dupes listed in both English and their native language - a BIG thanks to Alison Zemell of Canada for spotting those and letting me know. I had found about 20, she found a dozen I missed. This resulted in a few films moving up in the 1000, notably Children of Paradise, An Actor's Revenge, Fellini's Satyricon, and Godard's dreadful A Woman Is a Woman.. actually, 3 of these 4 bored me into a vegetative trance, and I haven't seen the other one - dare I risk it, lol?)

We will follow this post with more posts of new additions, deletions, biggest movers (up and down), top ranked films from 2009 and 2010 [note: this is now done, on the Top Ranked Films of the Decade: 2000-2010], as this was last done thru 2008 only.

For an alphabetical list of all 2243 films that scored, click here



I also expanded the post to 1200 titles, cuz I liked three near the bottom, Cold Comfort Farm, Winged Migration, and The Namesake, the latter two among just 40 perfect 10s I've given at 1000 Dvds to See (out of 780 ratings).

Note: about 15 short films were removed, including two more on this update (Un Chien Andalou, at 216; A Trip to the Moon, at 461, the 1902 silent short, now remastered in full color. These are good films but neither is anywhere close to feature length, so someone is including a few oranges in the boatload of apples).
