Top 100 South American Films - SCFZ Poll

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). We didn't have quite enough ballots to distinguish clearly among the films in the bottom third of the list, so those are essentially equally ranked.

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