Rules: Ten films which, in some way, show our history and culture reflected in film and film’s growth and change as a medium. It can’t simply be your ten personal favourites of the year. One of your ten choices must be in the top 10 grossing films of the given year. One of the films must have been nominated for a Best Film Oscar (Best Picture, Best Foreign Feature, or Best Animated Feature). One of the films needs to appear in a renowned critic or magazine or book’s best 10 films of the year. These choices can’t overlap.
- Cleopatra (Top Grossing Film Choice)
2. The Haunting (Top Critical Choice)
3. 8 And A Half (Academy Award Winning Choice – Best Foreign Picture)
4. The Birds
5. The Great Escape
6. Jason And The Argonauts
7. From Russia With Love
8. Shock Corridor
9. The Pink Panther
10. The Sword In The Stone
