Time Picks Top 100 Films
gollum123 writes "Time magazine on Monday published its list of 100 all-time favorite movies ranging from Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights" (1931) to Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" (1993) and 2003 computer-animated hit "Finding Nemo." But critics Richard Schickel and Richard Corliss snubbed several classics such as 1939's "Gone with the Wind". Almost half of the films were made outside the United States. Here is the full list."
How did Revenge of the Sith get #1? George Lucas, are you up to no good?!?
It's like an automatic flamewar.
Oh, and Steven Spielberg Godwinned the Oscars.
Where's "Debbie Does Dallas?" This list is rigged.

Office Space isn't on the list. Everyone involved in making that list deserves to die in a fire.
--- We need more Ron Paul!
Dude, you are so lol.
Three kings? Topgun?!
You obviously don't have a clue about real movies. I'm talking about Donnie Darko, A Beautiful Mind, The Exorcist,...
Well, it obviously isn't as good as you think it is since it didn't make The Definitive List of Good Movies. Thank you time magazine for telling me what really is good and entertaining in the wide world of movies!

Methinks Joe used "objective" when he meant to use "subjective".
Yes, that's what you think.
How we know is more important than what we know.
I don't see Police Academys 1 through 7 on the list.
I remember when legal used to mean lawful, now it means some kind of loophole. - Leo Kessler
No Princess Bride... Inconcieveable!
Feed my eyes...
That movie list is one of the worst that's ever been compiled. It's just some old geezer's nostalgia trip, and a very esoteric one at that, rather than a balanced list across time and genres.
The Sci Fi genre has been particularly badly served, with just about the only sensible entry in the list being Blade Runner. How a top-100 list can possibly not feature any of Terminator, Aliens, or Matrix is completely beyond me.
Crap, Time, very Crap.
No worries.. America hates you.. not your country or fellow countrymen.. just you.. personally.
What is your penile percentile?
It's not in order! what kind of list is that?! How an I supposed to know if ROTS is better than Finding Nemo?
Obviously, there is a left wing conspiracy involving the assassination of JFK, Vietnam, AOL mind control CDS and snooty French people.
no Incubus?
it has william shatner!
it was in esperanto!
it has goat heads!
this is a travesty...
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Smokey and the Bandit...a true classic that has been worthy of replay on WAY too many channels lately.
For my money, nothing says classic movie like a story about a truck and a car going to get beer.
I'm not a troll, but I play one on Slashdot.
How come? :)
Tuition/yr costs as much as a luxury car
This one is especially awful. Luxury cars have become way too cheap. Seriously, if any family that can afford college can afford a luxury car, is it really a luxury anymore??
my blog
America is booming, the economy is on the up swing, Iraq is a free democracy, there hasn't been a terrorist attack on American soil in years. All things considered, it's a great time to be an American. Meanwhile people like you are outraged over everything, telling us America is finished, telling us America is doomed, telling us that our country is evil. Time to put the suicidal pessimism away.
Given that there is Armageddon and no Contact, that makes this collection a total joke not to be taken seriously - no matter what financial excuse they had for that.
I mean, I saw the bootleg and the camcorder work was a masterpiece!
Yes, yes. We understand that very few people "get it" unless they either have the joke explained to them, or have the fact that it is supposed to be humerous telegraphed.
Having a joke rely on the fact that 1. the reader at least quick scanned the backing material(the article) and that 2. they must actually THINK for a moment must not be allowed. If we require that then the terrorists have already won.
(Notice there's no smiley? That means this is an attempt at droll sarcasm. It is an aquired taste in humor, and will most likely be modded as troll or flamebait. Since I have commited the sin of "explaining the joke" I am now going to hell. Thanks!)
