Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie ever made? Forrest Gump at 12? Life is Beautiful, 21. The Green Mile, 30. THE INTOUCHABLES IS 45! Lol, come on now that list is a joke. Godfather at 2 Godfather 2 at 3 12 Angry Men at 5 Good Bad Ugly at 9 The list has good movies. In fact all of the movies I listed aside from The Intouchables are good films. But you're going based on order and I'm pointing out that the list is not an accurate barometer to use. Compare that list to one like this where, for example, Shawshank Redemption is ranked #440 and that's basically my point. www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_all1000films_table.phpNo list is perfect, but IMDB Top 250 is not a film list to take seriously in terms of its numerical rankings.

That list is not really a good one to go by. Because Dark Knight is at #4? It was a pain in the ass to get Dark Knight on thebtskink’s AFI list, and yet, both sites agree that Lawrence of Arabia isn’t better than the Graduate. You got it on through sock puppets.

Neverending according to IMDB Coco is the 76th greatest movie ever made and 2001: A Space Odyssey is #90. Green Book is #131. I rest my case.

You got it on through sock puppets. There were a lot of assholes with sock puppet responsible for that one. They also knocked Godfather out of the number 1 slot in an attempt to get Dark Knight to dethrone it, but all they did was get Shawshank that position.

You really think Shawshank Redemption is the 440th best movie ever made?

I find giving credence to any internet list is in general a huge mistake.
And best Stephen King adaptation is Lawnmower Man.

Get the fuck outta here. I can see an argument being made for Shining — but let’s be real. Shawshank is one of the all-time great Dad Movies. Look at Doomsday. He hated Stephen King. Then he got a kid, started barbecuing and watching Shawshank on TNT.

You really think Shawshank Redemption is the 440th best movie ever made? I don't think I'd have it that low, but it's not a top 100 movie either. I'd probably split the difference. And that's not to say the film isn't great because I certainly think it is. We're talking about the best movies ever, and there are a lot of great ones. That's what the IMDB list doesn't reflect. It's largely feel-good, mainstream accessible or entertaining movies that make up the 250. The Intouchables shouldn't be on a top 1,000 list let alone a top 250, but people like it because it's simplistic and good-natured despite being immensely mediocre. It's why Shawshank Redemption is number one on that list. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn't think that the film is at the very least good. You're not going to get so much support behind Citizen Kane, 2001, or 8 1/2. That's fine, but it goes back to my point that for more serious film watchers such as ourselves, the IMDB list is not worthy.

Shawshank is #1 cause Dark Knight fanboys and Godfather fanboys had a pissing contest.
