IMDb's Top 10 Films: Do you agree?
#17
RE: IMDb's Top 10 Films: Do you agree?



Imdb's lists are usually crap, composed by youngsters who don't know shit from shinola.

Shawshank Redemption was an enjoyable movie, but hardly great cinema.

Where is The Wizard of Oz? Gone With The Wind? Sunrise? Seventh Seal? Battleship Potemkin? Taxi Driver? Alien?


This list is obviously the product of shallow people, with little life experience, minimal exposure to the great films in history, and abysmal taste and sensibility. In other words, it's your usual pop fare designed to create a social experience around a themed website in order to drive more clicks through their advertisers' banner ads.

(My ILS worker is the typical contributor to such a list. She's in her early 20s, never heard of the movies Alien or Blade Runner, doesn't know what a Tea Ceremony is, yada yada. I have to explain half the cultural references I make in ordinary conversation because her experience and knowledge of culture is both recent, and narrow.)
