I could be biased and base my opinion on the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy isn't there, but as great a movie as that was, I can definitely see why it would miss a list of this kind. Therefore, I'm basing that opinion on the fact that no Lord of the Rings movie was mentioned. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was one of the most acclaimed, highest-grossing and most popular trilogies and franchises of all-time and all three movies were amazing to at least 99% of the people who watched them. They were true classics and I don't think a lot of people would deny that. To not have even a single one of the three on the list is a clear showing of one thing a lot of people know already - that is, in the mind of critics, blockbuster movies are all worthless, with no exceptions. And I hate that. There's a lot of people out there behind making these movies that actually care a lot about making great pictures as much as there are indie ones. Having multi-million dollar budgets and special effects doesn't automatically make a movie bad. In fact, not having that and only focusing on making a small-budget movie with a sad story doesn't automatically make a movie good either. I'm not going to judge the list based on what's there, because I haven't watched most of those 100 and I believe most of them are indeed great movies. But it's clear that there is a very extreme bias against any blockbuster movies. |
What are you talking about? this list is plenty of blockbusters! All Pixar movies are blockbusters, Mad Max, The Dark Knight, Inception, Inglorious Bastards, Zodiac, AI, etc etc are all blockbusters too and some of them pretty high on the ranking.
Maybe they though LotR just didn't provided anything new enough to cinema, those movies are some of the best on its genre, however they didn't add anything special to it. Guardians of The Galaxy is the same, is better than most of its genre but it didn't add much to it, even if I would have included it on the top 100 but is not so hard to understand why not, in 16 years around the whole planet (because there is life outside the US) there has been tons of great films.
