Is this film really top-20 worthy? I know everyone seems to love it, but this seems like a pretty lofty ranking given the film's genre and style.

There are quite a few on this list that I would not consider great films, and some toward the bottom that are way underrated. I also have not heard of quite a few of them which kind of surprises me because I actively seek out obscure critically acclaimed films.
ETA: and how exactly does The Incredibles not make the list? I assume because it's a white nuclear family that works together to overcome their obstacles.

I think the Lives of Others and Pans Labyrinth should be in the top 10.

Well, part of me understands this - but it is a great piece of film, purely from an artistic standpoint. It requires a little bit of study and preparation, but there are many answers in the film and you're supposed to interpret some elements for yourself. It's Lynch's poisoned love letter to Hollywood.

I count 35 of these I've seen. I guess I could do better.
Posted on 8/23/16 at 12:22 pm to JombieZombie
Some I would have included:
Shutter Island
Life of Pi
All is Lost
A Disney Christmas Carol
Superbad
Polar Express
The Revenant
The Hateful Eight

No Country is pretty much the only entertaining movie on that list.

Yeah, Spirited Away is something that is probably similarly age appropriate as things like Lion King, Cinderella, and other Disney type things. It is a truly great movie though as are all other Miyazaki films that I have seen. Not all of them are as family friendly though. You are probably like 4 years or so away from that I would think.
Howl's Moving Castle is another great kid friendly Studio Ghibli movie, and I have heard but not seen that My Neighbor Totoro is kid friendly. Some thing like Princess Mononoke might be a little more of a 10-14 age range sort of thing, and I have heard that Grave of the Fireflies is very intense, though I have still not made my way around to watching it.

This 100%
In my opinion it is Pixar's crowning achievement. Way better than Ratatouille (one of my least favorite Pixar films) and Wall-E (which I agree should be on the list)

It looks like there's a certain type of movie that these critics respect over others. For me, There Will Be Blood is simply a terrible movie. I couldn't get through the first thirty or forty minutes of it. No Country is good, but damn the love for it on this board and elsewhere is mindblowing. I think I actually liked Sicario better. Obviously different films, but there is a feeling they both evoke that weighs similarly on the audience and Sicario came off as more put together to me. Maybe I just need to rewatch No Country.
Spirited Away is number 1 out of that top 10 to me. That movie works in every way imaginable. It is a masterpiece.

The fact that the Master is in the top 25 is laughable. That movie is an absolute disaster.

No Sideways in the Top 100?
