A D- for Jaws? Cue Baumer in 3....2......1

[Ezen Baklattan]

Dissapointed at a lack of Rear Window. 

[baumer]

Haven't even looked at the list yet but these lists always piss me off because they are so out of touch with how real people think.  I'll be Citizen Kane is top 3 and it's one of biggest pieces of crap on there.

 

My guesses:

 

No horror films (unless they consider Jaws horror, I do of course)

No John Hughes

No Titanic

No Raiders of the Lost Ark

A bunch of films I've never heard of.

 

Ok, time to look

Yea, that's stunning. 

[luna]

i don't like spielberg at all, my favourite from him is catch me if you can because it's the most un-spielberg-y

 

check the unpopular opinions thread

[#ED]

I was this close to saying "Where the fuck is TDK?".

[Ezen Baklattan]

A bunch of films I've never heard of.

Isn't that one of the good things about these lists? They bring to your attention several great films you wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

[DAR]

Wait a second, no Sunset Boulevard? 

[lab276]

Haven't even looked at the list yet but these lists always piss me off because they are so out of touch with how real people think.  I'll be Citizen Kane is top 3 and it's one of biggest pieces of crap on there. My guesses: No horror films (unless they consider Jaws horror, I do of course)No John HughesNo TitanicNo Raiders of the Lost ArkA bunch of films I've never heard of. Ok, time to look

Titanic and Raiders are on the list.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Their tv list is much worse

[baumer]

I had to go suddenly. Ill look later.

[Plain Old Tele]

EW's lists always seem trolltastic to me, deliberately leaving off or ordering things differently just to "get people talking", and this one is on exception. THE HURT LOCKER ranked above LAWRENCE OF ARABIA? Bitch, please.

[Jack Nevada]

At this point I really dont give a crap what a magazine or a website lists as the best movies. 

[Michael Gary Scott]

Well they left out house and dexter on their tv list for shows like project runway so yeah

[4815162342]

Their list of top 100 books has the Harry Potter series, The Hobbit, and His Dark Materials, but no A Song of Ice and Fire. Come the fuck on.
