re: 100 Best Films of the 21st Century, BBC Culture

Are fan favorites like “Gladiator,” “The Revenant,” or even “Best in Show” (with a 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) less deserving than middling efforts like “Before Sunset”

This writer, David Harsanyi, is an imbecile. He is not a film critic. To expect 177 films critics who did not collaborate, but independently submitted lists to provide a canon of films that match one's own specific tastes is idiotic. It's also be boring as hell. My favorite movie is on this list, but I think many of the rest don't deserve to be there. I'm not mad about. I have my own tastes and preferences.

The ballots:
The Ballots of 177 Critics

I like to read these to remind myself that 177 critics didn't just come together and collectively decide that TDK is better than City of God; shite just added up that way.

Lists are fun. Idiots are obnoxious.
