To many of you it’s probably a familiar story.

Poll results stir controversy among film critics
While millions of Asia Argento or Thomas Kretschmann fans in Italy and around the world were thrilled with the news, questions have been raised about the objectivity and fairness of the survey. Only a few minutes after the poll had been released, famous film critic and newspaper director Simon Ebert commented on his Twitter account:
Dracula 3D?? … Really??

“Our poll has in the past been the subject of criticism”, explains Watch and Listen's editor Gary McDermott, adding that “its prestige comes from its exclusivity and its longevity” (the poll has been run every ten years since November 1934).
