I find it a little weird that old movies suddenly jump to spot #1. Like, did they just not know about them until last week?

I believe they increased the number of critics who they polled, so the 2022 list represents a broader community, which may account for some of the differences in the most recent list.

Also, old films languish for years with only poor condition prints or terrible VCR versions that are rarely available. then someone releases a carefully restored print and suddenly it is like everyone is seeing it properly for the first times in generations.

I mean most of the movies that suddenly jump to #1 were still always in top 100. Taste also is pretty subjective and dynamic just day to day and over time.
