The problem is that this is not an actual best movies of all time list, its the most popular list. Any site like this is going to show the most popular as the best.
This is my top ten.

Shawshank is over rated as frick and yet it's in good company.

I think Shawshanks placement at #1 is just a testament to how inoffensive it is.
I've never heard anyone talk about how Shawshank is a masterpiece or mention it much at all, but by the same token Ive never heard anyone sperg out about how overrated it is. A bunch of people watch Shawshank, go "yup good movie
" rate it 8-10 on imdb and nobody is mad enough to vote it poorly

Kinda reminds me how loveless by my bloody valentine is in the top 10 for best albums all-time on RYM. It's a good album but it's really not a landmark album compared to other stuff in the top 10. It's in the same category of being good enough and appealing to a large demographic that by nature of averages it kinda just finds its way to the top. Pretentious moment here
but I do think on what that means in regards to the artistic merit of a piece of art. Is it better to be liked by many or hated and loved?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Compared to top 10 maybe but for shoegaze it is the defining album of the genre. It shouldnt be a top tier album though. Good but not a masterpiece. Hated and loved is also a better metric than popularity in almost any instance.

I've long believed that tpab and gkmc have a sort of black panther effect to them where the average white liberal isn't willing to rate them lower than a 4.
Radiohead albums belong where they are. It is contrarian nonsense the way they try to rate in rainbows or kid a above ok computer.

What the heck are you talking about? Loveless is the worst possible album you could have picked. There are no other albums that sound like loveless. Like, it's completely its own thing. Like, I can't think of a single other album that is so completely its own thing. I also have a really hard time believing there are people who listen to it and think it's just “good”. Like, its either “this is complete noise” or “this is the best thing I've ever heard”
Good fricking bait

Putting the Shawshank redemption, The Godfather and TDK at the top is infinitely more respectable than having something like Jeanne Dielmann which topped the The sight and sound poll critic list. Something which "real cinephiles" defended tooth and nail.
At least, I can tell the guys who enthusiastically voted TDK and Shawshank most likely watched the films, genuinely enjoyed them and as a result voted for them. Unlike, a certain crowd who watch certain films because they top certain lists and then heap them with praise in order to fit in.

The Sight & Sound poll was another example of identity politics and tokenism taking precedence after 2012 when the last list released. Letterboxd used to be where the best taste and cinephiles rated movies until the Eternal September we call the Twitter exodus. Now most of the top movies of all time on there are capeshit, identity-related films, and overrated foreign films. Everyone wants to analyze art analytically like a science now and focus on looking at top lists, making charts of their favorite movies, and seeeing what the consensus is but they'll never take the time to rewatch their favorites or to genuinely enjoy them.
Paul Schrader and Armond White even disliked the Jeanne Dielmann inclusion for this reason:

Cuarón's “Roma” was super pretentious (in comparison Kenneth Brannagh's “Belfast” was good and basically “Roma” done in a right way)
Anything by Goddard

God, Roma was so boring and pointless. I've got a cinephile friend, so he loved it, but good god. It's such a pointless film.
Most of my dislike for this "genre" is simply because I can't stand how rich people in the cinema business romanticize poor people. It's like they haven't gotten over their socialist claptrap phase.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I compared it with Belfast because both directors attempted something similar with different approaches.
Cuáron grew up in Roma, an upper-middle class neighborhood in Mexico City. So in the film he's supposed to be one of the kids but he's telling a fictional story about his maid. A lot “class guilt” displayed.
In Belfast we on the other hand we follow the kid's (Kenneth Brannagh) story. He grows up in a good nurtured loving family during “The Troubles”, his childhood shelters him from what's going on around until it becomes too evident and his parents decide to leave. I felt that one had a soul unlike “Roma”.
