I like Clint and his movies but c'mon.

Saw it because I like Michelle Williams. This choice is a total Hipster pick and nothing else.

Where is The Prestige in the top 25?

Letters from Iwo Jima? (that's your Clint movie if you want to include one, not freaking Million Dollar Baby.)

And Munich? (so overrated on this list) Who else rates it high but the NYT?

Where's Master and Commander?

That one stood the most out to me (save for Boyhood, but everyone sucks that movie off for nothing but retarded reasons). That looks like absolute pretentious bullshite and is just there for hipster bullshite reasons. I'd love to ask A.O. Scott to defend on how it is a better movie than Pan's Labyrinth or Children of Men.

This is the absolute worst list I've ever seen.

I usually don't like to bash rankings/lists because it's all subjective, but hot damn that is a bad list

Possibly the most overrated movie in the history of moving pictures.


I watched it for the first time a couple months ago, had obviously heard about it and saw it had solid ratings... When it ended I was like "Seriously? Some people consider this a great movie?" I didn't even think it was solid, much less a great movie

How Moonlight won best picture was beyond me. I watched it along with most of the other candidates on an international flight. Does not need to be on this list.
