not only that, it's very obvious that younger groups rate more films on IMDB so many of the great older films are now farther down on teh list than newer releases these groups are familiar with

How can a 35 year old rate Ben Hur or M if he's never seen these films??

and on the 9200 list.. he clearly says some of these selections have been submitted by other reviewers as he couldn't take on the work himself in total

Those IMDB ratings are just as skewed as Bourland's or anybody's list ... because they only measure the people who care to go on imdb.com and participate,
which, I daresay 99.9% of the moviegoers in this world have never done.

So a list is a list is a list.

I just love it because this guy is doing his part to Keep Austin Weird. And wired.

One thing we all can agree on: HELEN OF TROY is the Best Film In The World. ISN'T IT?

But his ratings amount to only one man's opinion of those films, whereas you can go to a place like IMdb.com and see a rating on just about any film ever made that reflects a compilation of many viewers opinions.
