Draw your own opinions.
My thoughts? Well, it's certainly better than the AFI 100 and the IMDB 250...but not that much better. Firstly, It's way too top-heavy with American films -- Seven Samurai at #20 is the first foreign film on the list -- and it's way too male-oriented. Secondly, it's not even really distinguishable compared to every other list out there but such is the nature of most list compilations. However, there are some rather inspired choices (6. Blade Runner, 25. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) that are just quintessentially "internet", and quite a number of my favorites (predictably) made it. It's a bit egregious to complain, I suppose, so I guess...well done? Yup, yup.
