Most of the following lists were compiled by Steve Erickson: "Lists from the '50s and '60s are taken from the anthologies edited by Jim Hillier. The rest of the lists are taken from the magazine itself. Between 1969 and 1981, it didn't publish Top 10 lists. When available, I've used American titles for the films.")

Some lists contributed by Alain Stimamiglio, Bruno Andrade, and Guillaume Bardon.
