I await the full list with equal parts morbid fascination and terror, at least if some of the tiebreakers are an accurate indication of the list as a whole.

Yay, Casablanca. But Dumbo should have won.

A) Dumbo is 1941

 

B ) No. Just no. I like Dumbo as much as the next guy, but Casablanca is one of the greatest films of all time.
