Sight and Sound’s Greatest Films of All Time poll came out—and filmmaker Paul Schrader was not happy about the results.
Like on an actual film set, a film ranking or list will result in many takes.

Sight and Sound asked 1,639 participating critics, programmers, curators, archivists, and academics to submit their top 10 ballots, and the winner this year is Jeanne Dielman 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.
It’s a big-time upset and shake-up. It’s a changing of the cinematic guard. The list also didn’t include regulars like Casablanca and The Godfather—even in the top 10!
Paul Schrader, who penned Taxi Driver (number 29 on the list) took to his active and fiery Facebook account to express his feelings.
