'Chinatown' listed the greatest movie ever | After 36 years of its release in 1974, 'Chinatown'
has now been voted as the greatest film ever made. The Chandleresque ''neo-noir'',
with an Oscar-winning script by Robert Towne and a superlative performance by
Nicholson as detective JJ Gittes, was voted into first place by a panel of Guardian
and Observer critics. Chinatown beat six other films in a shortlist drawn from
the recently published seven-part newspaper series on ''The Greatest Films of
All Time''. Equal second were Alfred Hitchock's 'Psycho' (from the horror section)
and Andrei Tarkovsky's 'Andrei Rublev' (leading film the arthouse section). Guardian
film critic Peter Bradshaw said Chinatown was ''such a powerful piece of
mythmaking,
a brilliant evocation of Los Angeles as a spiritual desert,'' reports Sydney Morning
Herald. The Observer's Philip French considered it a movie of ''near perfection''.
The seven best 1. Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974) 2. Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock,
1960), Andrei Rublev (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1966) 4. Annie Hall (Woody Allen,
1976)
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968) 6. Brief Encounter (David
Lean,
1945) 7. Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979).
