Time Picks Top 100 Films

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-about-starship-troopers dept.

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."

    Methinks Joe used "objective" when he meant to use "subjective".

  2. Not a complete list by HungWeiLo · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Time's list is by far incomplete. The Criterion Collection is a good place to start for excellent films of high caliber (plus most have excellent transfers...making gems like Kurosawa's Rashomon look like it was made just yesterday).

  3. Should be called "Top 100 List - According to 2" by nighty5 · · Score: 3, Informative

    What a waste of time. No pun intended.

    I think Time summed up the waste of time based on the fact that 2 guys thought that a few classics "didnt do it for them" - this isnt a "top 100" then.

    For a more reliable list of top movies based on the average medium of voters, goto IMDB Top 250
