The Greatest Films selected do not include foreign films or non-English language films for purposes of specialization and focus. Negative judgment on foreign films or non-English language films is not intended or implied. There is no such thing as the definitive list of the 100 Greatest Films. In a sense, anyone who watches a film is instantly a film critic. Everyone has their own favorites, choices, or other criteria for selection of the greatest films.
All film criticism is subjective.
See Comparative Greatest Film Lists , for example. The accessibility of films on network and cable television, laser discs, DVDs and videotapes have made all kinds of films available and preserved for generations to come.
