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 are 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!
This month we are delighted to screen Vertigo, Hitchcock's dark masterpiece and for many the greatest film of all time. It topped the Sight and Sound poll in 2012 for good reason. From the Saul Bass opening titles to the crazy denouement, Vertigo fascinates and inspires with this unbearably sad, exquisitely macabre love story.
Starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, enjoy the psychological shocks and dapper stylishness of this '50s classic Hitchcock.
