Re: 100 Best Movies of All Time

Still disagree with last part (Mac/Compac)....It almost sounds as if you're judging by technical qualities?

Not exactly. Many of the films they name (those made pre 50's) were made when film/movies were a new art form. Direction, cinematography, acting, etc have made such huge leaps and bounds since the era that many critics seem to idolize. I don't think it is really fair to compare.
I think a good example is "Road to Perdition." Had this movie been released pre-1980 I think it would be remembered as one of the top 20 greatest films of all time. As it was, it was not even nominated for best picture.
