Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola And Michael Mann List The Best Movies Ever
Avatar is one of the best movies of all time. The King of Comedy is one of the best movies of all time. Paths of Glory is one of the best movies of all time. The Red Shoes is one of the best movies of all time. Dazed and Confused is one of the best movies of all time. Each of these surprising, or not-so-surprising statements comes from one of the following filmmakers: Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola and Michael Mann. Each took place in Sight and Sound's filmmaker poll of the best films of all time, the results of which were revealed earlier this week.
Over 350 directors in total were polled and Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story ended up taking the top spot. That doesn't mean it was everyone's individual pick; just an average of the votes. In the latest issue of the magazine, which is on sale now, you can read every filmmaker's full list of choices. Lists from five of the biggest names participants have been posted online. After the jump, read the all time best films ever according to Tarantino, Scorsese, Allen, Coppola and Mann.
Thanks to The Playlist for posting these lists. I'm sure we'll be posting more in the coming weeks.

Wow. There is so much to analyze here but I think it's best to just leave it to you. One note is that Tokyo Story, the eventual winner of the filmmakers poll (Vertigo topped the critics poll) is not on ANY of these lists.
What do you find most surprising or exciting about these particular lists? Whose list are you looking forward to seeing next?
