A host of A-list stars including Juliette Binoche, Cillian Murphy and Bill Hader have voted in a brand new poll, which has placed Tootsie as the greatest film of all time.

The Dustin Hoffman film has topped a list of films compiled by actors for Time Out New York magazine, beating The Godfather into second place.

Proving that those who critique films and those who actually star in them have very different ideas about what makes them great, the 1982 film was voted into the top spot.

The magazine invited stars of the big and small screen and from across all genres to help put together their '100 Greatest Movie of All Time' list.

Actors and actresses including Bill Hader, Michael Sheen and Celia Imrie were among those asked to give their top 10 favourite films.

While Hoffman's cross-dressing comedy found it's way to the top spot, John Cassavetes' A Woman Under The Influence was another surprising entry at number three.

Cinema Paradiso comes in at number four on the list, while the 1962 film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird sits just behind at number five.

A number of young rising British stars were polled, including Riz Ahmed, Ellie Bamber, Joe Dempsie and Freddie Fox.

The top ten:

1. Tootsie
2. The Godfather
3. A Woman Under the Influence
4. Cinema Paradiso
5. To Kill a Mockingbird
6. The Godfather Part II
7. Annie Hall
8. Boogie Nights
9. The Red Shoes
10. Taxi Driver
