Because we need another top 100 movies of all time - Variety

Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X in the top 100!

i've seen worse. too american focused of course but not as bad as i was expecting from vareity.

* Also - the "toxic male" directors are almost all here as opposed to S&S - Polanski, Allen, Peckinpah, Griffith etc

* Stewart, Lemmon and Dustin Hoffman - top 10ish American actor guys have 2 appearances each - again greatest male actors - have the most presence on the list and that's even after the big 4 actors - at least among Americans......especially if your an American-centric list like this.....

* Side note : It's pretty funny (no pun) to see the comedies in order - and the weirdish drop after The General (no Philadelphia Story, Lady Eve, Sullivan's Travels, etc)

Bringing Up Baby
City Lights
Annie Hall
Some Like It Hot
The General
Dazed and Confused
Waiting For Guffman
Pink Flamingos
Bridesmaids
The Graduate

Notice how the goalposts changed immediatedly. Now you need at least 2+ movies in a 100 Greatest Movies Of All Time list to be a top tier GOAT actor

If Waters is making the list, it should be for Female Trouble. Good to see Intolerance make the list. Even though we want to erase Birth of a Nation from existence, Griffith still deserves his due and Intolerance is a much better, more ambitious film anyway that was released only a year after Birth of a Nation. Not a great list but to echo film socialism, not as bad as I was expecting from variety

Listen, I like the movie... but any list of 100 greatest films of all time that has My Best Friend's Wedding at 71 is not one to look any further into.

As per all these lists-- some head scratchers, some obligatory every-list-must-have inclusions, and some actual inspired choices.

They put Bridesmaids ahead of 12 Angry Men lmfao what is this

* Btw this was done by Peter Debruge, Owen Gleiberman Lisa Kennedy, Jessica Kiang, Tomris Laffly, Guy Lodge and Amy Nicholson if you like their writing ....it's hardly comparable to S&S, TSPDT or even the AFI lists - just in the depth of the poll, weight of the poll and for the non compos mentis types (um) who want to talk about "moving goal posts"......this poll isnt in the same sport ....much less where the goal posts are.....

*My Best Friend's Wedding" being that high or on the list at all - yeah no one buys that - I mean like I said just for comedy especially the list isn't believable as being even English language canonical - it's just much more representative of movies a few people like which isn't the same thing .........but it's neither fish nor fowl really as a poll......

*SPR at 10 is well - I wouldn't pick it - but I also wouldn't have blinked if it was placed lower - but 10 is too much imo. I love the start and progressively love it (much) less as it goes along but I think you can make a reasonable case for its rival film from the same year as being "better" - arguable though - The Thin Red Line .....that would have been good to have some counterpicks.....

* Mean Streets is my favorite Scorsese - I think "best" is Taxi Driver though - but that was quite a curveball.....I'm guessing that's Owen Gleiberman pushing it - who is at times a great critic / writer and at times like a guy who seems to have nothing in common with that other Owen Gleiberman - he's a hard guy to read in how he feels about things ........but I know he's a huge Mean Streets fan.....
