To think that E.T. and The Exorcist are not on the list but these movies are, is a travesty:
-Warrior (2011) #152
-Coco (2017) #72
-Gran Torino (2008) #171
-Avengers: Endgame (2019) #33
-Avengers: Infinity War (2018) #58
-Whiplash (2014) #45
-Inside Out (2015) #148
-Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse (2018) #60
-Rush (2013) #207
-Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009) #209
I even liked some of these, but top 250? Come on.
whiplash is super overrated, it is a solid movie not great

I started listing the ones I thought shouldn't be there but it's just easier to post the list https://www.imdb.com/list/ls041322734/
Now, I do like some of them but I wouldn't consider many at all to be as amazing as a Top 250.
I have to put my mind in some else's perspective and think that maybe I don't personally like it but others can. The list I gave is what I'm honestly surprised that enough people could like to put them on the top 250.
shareEven the ones I like I still wouldn't think are amazing. Maybe I am too fussy or rate films differently, or maybe I don't see films as a competition.
shareI know what you mean. I love School of Rock but I don't feel that's worthy of the top 250. (Although I think 7.1 is too low). But when I think of the endless amount of movies out there, School of Rock just seems like it's a great movie and that's it.
shareThe list also screams very mainstream popularity. The Dark Knight at number 3, all the Godfather movies. It speaks more of IMDB's typical user tastes than anything else.
