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...

When I saw Finding Nemo on there, it was hard to take the rest of the list seriously.

Reading the responses on what movies were excluded and included made me totally uninterested in reading the list.

On a side note, I do think City of God is preposterously overrated.

Because most critics won't consider a film for their top whatever lists until it's been out for more than 5 years.

Not that City of God isn't deserving - it most definitely is. It's just rare to see a film critic acknowledge it so soon after its release.

Name a better movie made over the past five years.

I loved Million Dollar Baby. Loved it. But it's not as good as City of God.

Of the first 10 films I looked for on that list, I found only 3. Seven Samurai, Rosemary's Baby, Touch of Evil, Rashomon, Underground (debateable; least surprising), Bringing up Baby, and The Third Man (least debatebale; W...T...F) all weren't there. Not that I think those are all top ten; they were just the first ten that I went looking for, along with Chinatown, Citizen Kane, and Godfather pt II. So yeah, the fact that Finding Nemo makes the list and The Third freaking Man doesn't kind of puts my off from caring much about this list.

....I stand partially corrected.....read your post too quickly and responded to last part only.....

I agree with 1st part....

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