Analog Scott,I think it may be the interposition of what appears to be so much junk among great movies such as those you named that turns so many off, including me.

in such a large list. At least it will be junk to an individual. As I said before, I was actually surprised by just how little obvious junk was in this list. But to dismiss it out of hand as a list of mediocre movies is throwing out the proverbial baby with the bath water. It would be more interesting to discuss the abberations that each of us sees in the list rather than whine about how stupid the masses are. Frankly they look pretty smart given the content of this list. there just isn't going to be a concensus on greatness in any artistic endevour. Certainly not on a scale of 250 entries.
...That was simply unwatchable.

i had no trouble watchning The Lord of the Rings.I think it is a great cinematic achievement. One of the greatest actually. Not without it's flaws to be sure but in the grand scheme of things I find it an amazing achievement indeed. I am still at a loss to explain the severe negative reatcion some have to this trilogy. I am also amazed that otherwise savvy folks would be completely incapable of seeing *any* of it's merits. Kind of reminds me of some music snobs' reactions to rock and roll back in the fifties. "That's just noise!" Amazing howsome with a reasonable level of musical knowledge would be so completely wrong about a genre. I realize not everyone is into myth on such a pure level but for some to be so blinded by biases and prejudices as to fail to see any of this production's virtues still amazes and surprises me.
