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."

    Did you RTFA? Neither Yahoo nor the complete list include Revenge of the Sith, although Star Wars (1977) did make the list.

    Why should I care what someone thinks are their $NUMBER favorite $THING? This is filler for a slow news day.

  3. No such list! by ylikone · · Score: 0, Redundant

    A top 100 movies list cannot ever be created. For it to exist, one would have to assume that everybody has the same tastes, or even that a majority has the same tastes. Not even close to truth. So, it's all relative. You can only ever make a top 100 movies that *I* think are the best.
