Time Picks Top 100 Films 622
gollum123 writes "Time magazine on Monday published its list of 100 all-time favorite movies ranging from Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights" (1931) to Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" (1993) and 2003 computer-animated hit "Finding Nemo." But critics Richard Schickel and Richard Corliss snubbed several classics such as 1939's "Gone with the Wind". Almost half of the films were made outside the United States. Here is the full list."

Well, it obviously isn't as good as you think it is since it didn't make The Definitive List of Good Movies. Thank you time magazine for telling me what really is good and entertaining in the wide world of movies!

Ridiculous list - no Terminator, Aliens, Matrix (Score:1, Funny)
The Sci Fi genre has been particularly badly served, with just about the only sensible entry in the list being Blade Runner. How a top-100 list can possibly not feature any of Terminator, Aliens, or Matrix is completely beyond me.
Crap, Time, very Crap.

This one is especially awful. Luxury cars have become way too cheap. Seriously, if any family that can afford college can afford a luxury car, is it really a luxury anymore??

Hey, I'm not a GNAA troll, I actually thought the movie was funny. In a bad, not funny sort of way.

Having a joke rely on the fact that 1. the reader at least quick scanned the backing material(the article) and that 2. they must actually THINK for a moment must not be allowed. If we require that then the terrorists have already won.
(Notice there's no smiley? That means this is an attempt at droll sarcasm. It is an aquired taste in humor, and will most likely be modded as troll or flamebait. Since I have commited the sin of "explaining the joke" I am now going to hell. Thanks!)
