Author Comments: 

Here are kenji's original comments. I didn't want to delete them, as they seemed useful to me:

This was the book that opened up new horizons for me and got me hooked on world cinema back in 1988. The top 100 as voted for by 80 international critics' top 10's. Kobal's points system of 10pts for #1 placing in a top 10, but only 1 pt for #10, disadvantaged films like Day for Night, The Godfather, M, The Travelling Players and Dr Strangelove, which all had more votes than some included in the 100.
