That list is terrible.

Could their list be any safer? I know its a film geek site, but they are only 2 films from this century in the top 200. Two.
Man, they are just clinging to critical consensus there.

I haven't seen a lot of the movies on there, so can't vouch for quality... But I find it VERY odd that there are so few movies from after 90' and so many from the 50s/60s/70s/80s.
Does the group who put this together tend to be much older or are all of these old movies so much better than the likes of
Forrest Gump, Shawshank, Apollo 13, The departed, etc... You know all of the tops movies from the 90s/00s

List is retarded. Looks like a bunch of movie snobs that wanted to list all the old shite they can because it makes them look savvy.

There are some current movies that made the list. Goodfellas is at #35 all-time among Hollywood movies and #84 among all movies, Pulp Fiction is at #39 and #95 respectively, Mulholland Drive is at #29 and #66 and movies like The Thin Red Line and Big Lebowski made the top 100 as well. The best movies stand the test of time. A lot of people might not remember the recent releases in 30, 40 years. So yeah, it's only natural that there's only a few movies from recent years on the list. There's also a list of the greatest films from the 21st century if you want to take a look. LINK

They Shoot Pictures puts together the best, most comprehensive list out there. People bashing it probably haven't seen over half the movies listed. When trying to rank the best films (not personal favorites) it becomes mostly about influence. With that in mind, I believe Citizen Kane deserves the top spot. Seems like Metropolis should be much closer to the top ten. That website is a great tool if you are trying to catch up on the classics, foreign and domestic.

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.

The thing with the list is not to pay attention to the order in which they are listed but rather look at the list as a whole.
If you do that its actually a really good collection of films.
Right there's a lot of that. They don't want to take the time to watch all those old movies they haven't seen so they just dismiss it.
Agreed. When I first got into classic & foreign films years ago I used that website a lot as reference.
Its been long time since I looked at their list so I'm kinda curious how many out of 1,000 I've seen by now. I'll have to total it up later when I get the time.

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.

Shawshank
Redemption
list is shite

Shawshank is listed. How about you actually look at the list and know what you're talking about before posting.
#419 is a solid ranking for that movie considering they are ranking the top 1000 movies ever made. Plenty of movies that I think should be on there are not listed. Still a great list and website.
