First of all protecting younger people who would use the IMDB to catch up on the great films is rather silly. Firstly the IMBD is a voting contest nothing more nothing less.While I agree that some people will rate films above their favorite a 1/10 and rate their's a 10/10 does it honestly matter? I pretty much disagree with the entire list placement -- but that is true even if I look at the lists of professional film critics who will generally overate a self indulgent piece of crap because it has subtitles instead of actually discerning between good and bad foreign films.
The comment about "incompetent voting" is not exactly fair because there are a number of very bright individuals who love Lord of the Rings and while I found the whole thing to be a tedius exercise in mediocrity the fact is many very knowledgable film geeks like those films.
Most film critics rate Citizen Kane number one all time -- I have an honors Education and English literature degree - and Citizen Kane is not in my top 100 because it just does not hold up, is stiltedly acted, and the wonderful cinemetography actually detracts from the film like nails on a chalkboard detract from listening to a teacher. (I would FAR rather watch the Shawshank Redemption to most of the films I have seen -- and number 2? I can live with that)
