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."

    Considering less than half of all movies produced (excluding movies from Bollywood) are produced outside of the US, yes it is.

    The same company that made Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin "Time Magazine Man of the Year".

    They listed The Fly (?!) but already forgot about The Passion of the Christ? The movie that broke box office records with no traditional marketing or advertisements and got major news coverage beginning two years before its release? And what about The Ten Commandments (1956)? It was a landmark movie for its special effects in depicting miracles, especially the parting of the Red Sea.
