In 2013, the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) invited 475 film critics, writers, novelists, academics, and other arts professionals to select the 10 most important films in the history of Arab cinema. They compiled the results into a top 100, which they published in a book, "Cinema of Passion." The book includes analysis of each film in both English and Arabic, written by 20 film critics.
All of the films on this list received at least 9 votes. The most-represented countries are Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Algeria, and Tunisia. See this spreadsheet for the vote counts, top directors, and top films for each country.
