No, hang on, there’s more to Total Film's 100 Greatest Movies Of All Time than trumpeting Scorsese’s Mob masterpiece…

About 99 films more.

It is, frankly, a fool’s errant: compiling a list of the 100 greatest films of all time. Blood was (almost literally) shed over what should make the list.

The deputy editor and features editor are still rowing about the comparative merits of Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid (31!) and The Searchers (34). And don’t get us started on ranking The Apartment (16) higher than The Godfather (23)...

There’ll be plenty for you to get your knickers twisted over when The 100 Greatest Movies Of All Time hits the shelves of WHSmith on Thursday, priced at a very reasonable £9.99. It's also available to buy online .
