It's actually a good movie...

You're right on both points. The reason that they don't mean that much is because of the age group that rates the films. In fact, the whole ' 250 ' list is pretty much a joke. If you ask most of the people who have rated the top 250 films if they've ever seen any films that were released before they were born, you'd probably get some pretty dumb looks out of them. That's sad. I don't have a Netflix account or subscribe to any service that streams or mails films to people, but from what I've read, there are over 100,000 titles available for people to rent. Also, if you live in an area where there's a pretty decent library system, you can borrow [ a lot ] of wonderful films and have access to a lot more through intra-library loans. It's sad what today's viewers limit themselves to. I'd say that there are perhaps two films in that top twenty that are worthy of being there. I went through the list and I personally, wouldn't put at least 80% of those films on the list. I find the ridiculous placement of some masterpieces a travesty, and how several other masterpieces are conspicuously missing. You can get pretty much of an idea of those I'm referring to by looking at my personal film ratings.
