Sight and Sound's 'Top 100 Greatest Films of all time' is the critics poll the magazine takes each decade with more than 1,600 critics, to test the temperature of what is considered a classic!
This year, we're screening one of the choices from the poll each month, as part of our new Sunday Classics series. At the screenings, we invite you to join the conversation and vote for YOUR own classic, which we'll screen at the end of 2024 as part of our very own Audience Poll!

However, they agree to keep their bond platonic so as not to commit similar wrongs. Starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung this is Brief Encounter for a new generation.
