The BFI Sight & Sound publication has released the top 50 Greatest Films of all Time placing 'Vertigo' above 'Citizen Kane' for the first time.
From critics to academics, the best films of all time were polled and 'Vertigo' is now officially the 'Greatest Film of All Time'. Alfred Hitchcock has finally dethroned the iconic 'Citizen Kane' that has been a cultural phenomenon for more than half a century.

1. 'Vertigo' : Alfred Hitchock (1958)
