THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE IS ABOUT TO BE VOTED OUT OF THE IMDB TOP 250

It's bad enough that The Quiet Man lost its spot on this list last year, and now Red River is about to meet the same fate. As of this post, Red River is clinging on the IMDb Top 250 list, currently it is #250 with 3,689 votes and a weighted rating of 7.8. What is so frustrating about this is that I don't know of anyone who would claim that Spider-Man 2, Garden State, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, or Shrek is better then Red River. Yet people hand out 10's left and right to movies like these, and they are all rated higher then Red River. Please, everyone vote for this movie! And if you want a real "greatest film" list, visit:

Well that damn list is biased anyway. Far too many films from the 1980s, 90s and the last couple of years. There should be a quota system, weighting each decade equally or something like that. The way it is 12 year olds rate every eye-catchy blockbuster with 10 out of 10. How can a classic like Red River compete with that?
