    Yes I heard this mentioned on the news. There are only three what you might call commercial films there...Vertigo, 2001 A Space Odyssey, and The Searchers. So it is clearly a list for the purists, the talking heads of cinema, or the talking heads on cinema. Serious buffs with frowning foreheads and Buddy Holly glasses.! But the choice of Vertigo surprises me, good film alright, gorgeous use of early technicolour..almost pastel colours as I remember...but wouldnt go for it for all time choice as No 1.

    The Searchers is terrific..great images in it..John Wayne silhouetted in the doorway and so on.
    2001 captured the imagination at the right time...as mentioned re the music on the full moon thread...all were mad on space travel in dem thar days. The opening scene with the apes was much talked about at the time.
