Village Voice Film Poll
The Village Voice Film Poll was an annual polling by ''The Village Voice'' film section of more than 100 major film critics for alternative media sources. Although the majority of the critics work for the alt-weeklies, a number are former ''Voice'' critics who now work for the mainstream media or have retired. It was compiled every year from top 10 lists, best performance lists, and votes for other categories. The poll results were printed alongside the annotated top 10 lists of J.
