Empire Magazine's updated all-time top 500
Yes, I am determinately low-brow in my appreciation of films but they even get the populist stuff wrong. Even the most low-brow of film watchers would be expecting films like Some Like It Hot or To Kill A Mockingbird to be higher.
I didn't carry on long enough to try and find "Sweet Smell Of Success", "Touch Of Evil" or "Gilda" on there and I looked up to 100. Ridiculous.
If you are going to demote sacred cows like Citizen Kane then you have to justify why 2001 and Clockwork Orange are higher

Yeah, I mean I'm all for not being snobbish about popular cinema, but that's fucking ridiculous. This would be the top 500 if the world consisted of English-speaking men born since 1960 with no curiosity about the word.
