List #2 in a series of 10
Rankings taken from TSPDT's 2025 list (I could probably pick '50 Best' for the 1930's, but other decades, not so much). Feature length films only (sorry, "Land Without Bread").
Please note that I did NOT include "Triumph of the Will" despite what TSPDT thinks of it. I did, after a lot of careful consideration, include "Olympia" (though I am still conflicted about that decision)
List image from top ranked film, "La règle du jeu"
