In this issue is a list of 101 of the greatest films of all time – but not the kind of list that you might expect from that description. No Citizen Kane. No Vertigo. Not even Jeanne Dielman.

 

Each of these films is one of the greatest according to just one voter in our recent Greatest Films of All Time poll; they are some of the hidden gems among the more than 4,300 films voted for by more than 2,000 participants.

 

We asked 101 critics and directors (including Abel Ferrara, S.S. Rajamouli, Benny Safdie, Michael Moore, Nora Twomey, Ngozi Onwurah, Luca Guadagnino, Amanda Kramer, Laura Mulvey, Slavoj Žižek and Apichatpong Weerasethakul) to write about their one-vote wonder and let us know what makes it, for them, one of the greatest films ever made.
