Re: 100 Best Movies of All Time
A few interesting picks.
Lists like this always piss me off though. There is no way these can be considred the 100 Best movies. I think influential would be a much better description. For these to be the "best", there is entirely way too much credit placed on older movies that simply can not stand up to movies made within the last 25 years.

....surely you jest??!! [/ QUOTE ] Not at all. Read my post, I am quite clear. If it is your opinion that a Chapman silent movie is "better" than a comedy like Big Lebowski or Dumb and Dumber, okay, that is your opinion. I conceded that his was obviously more influential, and perhaps therefore more important, but I think saying it is a better movie is comprable to calling an old green screened Macintosh a better computer than my Compaq...

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

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.

Re: 100 Best Movies of All Time
One of the critics who helped compile the list said in an interview, "We felt we had to have a film that represented the Silent Era, and the new Digital Animation Era needed to be represented..."
NO THEY DON'T!!!

Re: 100 Best Movies of All Time
There are indeed some amazing movies missing from this list, although it's one of those subjective kinds of things I guess.
I realize there's at least 2 Kurosawa films, but I think Seven Samurai is better than Ikiru (haven't seen Yojimbo). Also, I only looked for Grand Illusion and Rules of the Game, but one of these should have been here (or some Renoir film, but I'm not familiar with his whole catalog of works) Also, Godard's Breathless...Awesome film, not on the list.
