Las 100 mejores películas según Les Cahiers Du Cinema

La reconocida revista francesa de cine Les Cahiers Du Cinema —una de las más importantes e influyentes a nivel mundial— publicó recientemente su lista de las cien mejores películas de todos los tiempos. Revisando dicha lista, uno puede identificar películas españolas, alemanas, rusas y latinoamericanas, además de varias norteamericanas y francesas. Resulta bastante curioso que no se incluya ni una sola película británica en la lista.
