Lot of "Critic speak" in these lists.
Vertigo remains overrated. It has a theme, but it's not particularly suspenseful. I'd rate it Hitch #4, but 1-3 wouldn't be in the top 10 either.
I love Night of the Hunter, but there's no way I can objectively say it's top 20 or even top 50. I love it because it has some weird stuff that I like and because of Mitchum, my favorite actor of that era. And it is really tense in spots. but some of it is just silly.
2001 - too Boring for a top 10 movie. ditto Taxi Driver
The Thin Red Line top 100? Come on.
Just to name a few.

I respectfully disagree. I believe Vertigo is one of the two or three perfect movies I have seen. Maybe its not "particularly suspenseful" to you now, in the 21st century but when this came out in the late 50s, it was about as suspenseful as it gets. Same is true for Psycho, people don't find it that scary today (I do) but in 1960 it must have made people crap their pants. So by your estimation, Hitchcock didn't make one of the ten best films ever made. That's way off, IMO. He made at least two of the best ten, again IMO. I feel the same about Chaplin but he is not featured in the top ten, but that's ok I'm not offended. They are taking into account every movie, from every country, ever made. Great list.
