Film history is unfinished. Canons are contradictory. Taste is internalized censorship. All of which is why a poll of all-time Great Films is really a great idea. Even for those of us who prefer horizons over hierarchies, its obvious paradoxes are illuminating when considered from the reverse-shot side of cultural myth-making. And even if making lists is a number 1 on my list of absurd activities, this maddening, mind-bending task remains meaningful from the imaginary vantage point of the future, too. So here is a message in a bottle to you future readers of Sight & Sound, hoping for the best and keeping in mind that if asked tomorrow, these would be all different films (except for the Rivette).
