This movie has an 8.7 Rating. That would be enpough to be in the top 100 movies.

Looking at the 250 of IMDB http://www.imdb.com/chart/top i see that the picture with less votes there was La Battaglia di Algeri (a great film by the way, named here in Mexico La batalla de Argel) with 2,497 votes and a 8.4 Sad, but Los Caifanes only have 42 votes until now. I figure that not much mexican people walk around IMDB, and the vast majority is USA people that have more Hollywood tastes and that's why i guess will never see in the top 250 Los Caifanes, Nosotros los Pobres, or La Mujer del Puerto, to say only a couple of great classic mexican films.

In order to be in the top250 a movie recquires to have a minimum of votes (about 5000 or more). As of today only 85 posters have rated this movie.

That's why I consider the top250 basically a popularity contest and nothing more than that.
