  A Man for All Seasons
  Little Miss Sunshine
  Planet of the Apes

  Of the titles I ommitted from the list 30 were due to my opinion that they were less than excellent. Only three sank to the level of mediocrity IMO. The rest were ommitted because I simply didn't see them. If this truly is a list of mediocre films surely you could list 250 films that are plainly and undeniably better than *any* on this list. No, I don't think this is a definitive list of the best movies ever made. It would be impossible to make such a list. There are IMO gross ommissions but, as I said before, yours was at best a knee jerk reaction to a list that is largely comprised of great movies, many amoung the greatest and best movies ever made. Pretty remarkable really considering it is a survey from such a broad base of people.
