Here it finally is, the Pendragon Film Society’s annual study of the greatest films of all-time. With the shadow of a worldwide pandemic once again, the process took a little longer than normal but this poll has come from by far the largest amount of lists we’ve ever compiled. The final results come from not only the ballots of our contributors and members but also the results of numerous polls and user rating systems as shown in the Greatest Films List section.

The purpose of the poll is to provide those with an interest in the moving image a guide to what might be worth viewing and make them think about what makes great cinema.
