Two years ago, Empire readers voted for the 100 greatest movies of all time, a poll the magazine runs every few years.

And yet again The Godfather came out on top, closely followed by The Empire Strikes Back.

Of the Top 10 that were released after 1989, all of them made the new poll above except for Pulp Fiction since it was released in 1994 with The Shawshank Redemption.

Empire’s September issue is released on Thursday, August 8 and features a year-by-year breakdown of the 30 most iconic films of the last three decades.
