The <Sight and Sound> once-in-a-decade Top Ten Polls (1952, 1962, 1972,
1982, 1992, and 2002) used to collect international critics' votes only, but
started to ask for separate votes from directors in 1992.  For 2002, if the
combined votes of the critics and directors are counted together, the
reulting list of top ten films would include 3 Japanese films:

1.  <Citizen Kane> (Welles) 88 votes (46+42)
2.  <Vertigo> (Hitchcock) 54 votes (41+13)
3.  <The Godfather> & <~ part II> (Coppola) 50 votes (23+27)
4.  <The Rules of the Game> (Renoir) 42 votes (30+12)
5.  <8 1/2> (Fellini) 37 votes (18+19)
6.  <2001: A Space Odyssey> (Kubrick) 32 votes (21+11)
7.  <Tokyo Story> (Ozu) 31 votes (22+9)
8.  <Seven Samurai> (Kurosawa) 27 votes (15+12)
9.  <Rashomon> (Kurosawa) 26 votes (14+12)
