Good to see FWWM crack the top 900, I remember it making the very last spot on the list this time two years ago.

I've still yet to see Citizen Cane but I feel like it's not actually all it's cracked up to be. Probably hasn't been the best movie ever for the better part of the century; people are just too afraid to take it off their lists. I love old movies as much as the next guy but I feel like a lot of the hype for "Old Hollywood" is just that.

While there should be more modern movies in the top 25, not a single movie on the list doesn't deserve a spot in the top 100.

*looks at a list of the greatest novels ever written, compiled from over nine thousand critics and scholars that dates back to the 1700s*

"What the fuck, nothing from after the 1950s?!"

"What's this Don Quixote shit anyway?"

"I've never heard of any of these!"

Bit of a different story. Filmmaking as a medium is barely 100 years old, and there have been a lot of advances not just in technology but in technique that have improved it. And even in literature, if you don't list anything from the last 50 years in the top 25, it's going to be suspect. When ranking films, it's just a massive red flag.

I've seen only four of those.

8 1/2
This movie taught me the meaning of ennui. Not a pleasant experience.

The Godfather
Crime movies aren't my preferred genre, but the script, production values, acting etc. was of the highest caliber. I can appreciate and respect that.

The Searchers
John Wayne is an "anti-hero" because he's kind of a jerk, and he's gonna kill his niece because she was abducted by "indians" (white actors oiled to be a bit more borwn). Then, after years of ceaseless pursuing, he does a shocking swerve at the last moment because... the plot demands it?
Yeah, it was an okay western.

2001: A Space Odyssey
This is the pinnacle of sci-fi. Many others come close, but none have surpassed this masterpiece.

The most radical "advancements" in "technique" have their roots in films from the 60s and earlier, though. The technological advancements don't really improve things much after the 60s, either, and are arguably detrimental to the medium, or at least, irrelevant due to the lack of access to, or interest in, these "advancements" by more creative artists.

Because they're not an idiot? There's plenty of astounding literature, and if you're going to claim nothing in the last 50 years holds up, I'm going to say you're full of shit.

I thought the same thing, but I watched it back in college and it lived up to the hype

IMO of course

I haven't seen that one, but I did go into Lawrence of Arabia thinking I'd be watching it just to see film history rather than a good experience....nope, movie was incredibly solid even with its clear age, problematic elements, and long runtime.

Still hate 2001 though.

That's why the guy who compiles the list also has a best of the 21st century list. That said, there's a reason a lot of these keep popping up.

Also I could have missed something, but I've seen all but two of the top 100 on this list.

It really is overranked there in relation to the rest of Tarkovsky on the list, but fantastic movie nonetheless.

I can't find a single serious list of the all-time greatest works of literature that has a work from the past 50 years in its top 25. Its also a mathematical improbability that there would be any.
