Sight & Sound is a magazine that is published monthly by the British Film Institute. The magazine holds a poll for the Top 50 Greatest Films of All Time. The voters in the poll are an international group of film experts, 846 to be exact, that includes critics, programmers, academics and distributors. The magazine's poll is highly regarded and Roger Ebert has said that it's "the only one most serious movie people take seriously."For the past 50 years, Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941) has sat at the #1 spot, but in the new poll, it now sits at #2 with Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) claiming the top spot.
