Can you honestly say all the 100 movies in the list are "pretentious" and not actually good? All 100 of them?

I haven't watched many of them, I haven't liked many of them, but it's a big list and it is impossible to end up hating all or loving all. 

No. Please don't misunderstand.

All the movies are certainly not pretentious. I said the list is pretentious, overall.

These movies are in my opinion very good:

No country for old men I haven't watched
Mad Max: Fury Road I agree
Pan's Labyrinth (this movie is good despite being pretentious and very "cultural critic") A great movie indeed. No idea why you need to label movies beyond good and bad.
A history of violence I haven't watched.
A.I. I agree, I also agree that's better than the list Chris provided. 
Finding Nemo ofc

Inception was okay, I agree

Inglorious basterds is okay or even good (but the worst Tarantino movie). I haven't watched, but I do feel there is some sort of critical bias towards anything Tarantino shits, I am SUPER glad Kill Bill hasn't made the list.

25th Hour had glimpses of good in it but Spike Lee is clearly among the pretentious directors. I haven't watched.

So you basically just like to lable things beyond good and bad, it's ok, we're good friends after all.
