The movies are now more than 100 years old. That still makes them a young medium, at least in art-form years (how old is the novel? the theater? the painting?). But they’re just old enough to make compiling Variety’s first-ever list of the 100 Greatest Movies of All Time a more daunting task than it once might have been. Think about it: You get an average of one film per year. A great deal of ardent discussion and debate went into the creation of this list. Our choices were winnowed from hundreds of titles submitted by more than 30 Variety critics, writers and editors. As we learned, coming up with which movies to include was the easy part. The hard part was deciding which movies to leave out.

#1 Psycho
#2 The Wizard of OZ
#3 The Godfather
#4 Citizen Kane
Not a bad list but they had to put a a couple of woke movies in.
The glaring one missing is "Night of the Living Dead".

Psycho is a great movie including the remake. But the #1 movie of all movies? Nah. But we all have our opinions.

Psycho isn't even in the top ten movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

The Lives of Others and Cool Hand Luke at the top.

But seriously, I would put Doctor Zhivago at the top of my list.
A cautionary tale about Communism.

Lots of great choices, for sure.
My vote is “The Third Man”. Great story. Great acting. Even better cinematography and lighting.

The one scene in Doctor Zhivago that is my favorite, is Klaus Kinski, “I’m the only free man on this train!”
