At the Super Champion Film Zone film forum, we held a poll to discover our community's favourite films ever made from South America. Voters submitted ballots of up to 100 films each, and those ballots combined to produce the list below (which goes to 101 because of ties).

Our next two polls will cover Southeast Asia and experimental film - feel free to join us!
