Dude, there's 250 movies on the list. It ain't gonna be perfect.

If you're going to pick 250 movies, you should make the picks count.  There's some really useless ones in there.

And that's true every time. Only way to be satisfied with a list like this is to make it yourself.

The typical reaction is to focus on the choices one disagrees with and dismiss the list as terrible, but after having seen this process dozens of times, I've come to be more accepting. Blair Witch Project is a terrible choice, but it doesn't make the entire list terrible.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is the finest movie ever made.

There really isn't any point in obsessing over other people's/org's movie favorites/listings.

Like what you like, and damn everyone else.
