it's weird that l'argent tops the list, rather than, say, rules of the game or the bicycle thief

Bresson poll seemed to just get the most votes. Even his second-place film (Lancelot du Lac) had more points (51) than any other director's top film. Bresson was the first poll on the new site, right? Perhaps it just got more activity cos almost every member from the old site was switching their accounts over and more than usual participated in the poll.
