Classics

Ranked by how many of 13 independent canon lists a film appears on — critic polls, National and Filmfare Best Film, state Best Film awards, Cannes/Berlin/Venice, Oscar submissions, restorations and IMDb’s own chart, each counted once. Most of these predate our review coverage and aren’t scored yet; standing here is provenance, not our judgment.
