Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films	Can't Post

Quote

Who better to judge the best movies of all time than the people who make them? Studio chiefs, Oscar winners and TV royalty all were surveyed as THR publishes its first definitive entertainment-industry ranking of cinema's most superlative.

FotR ranking #82, RotK #87.

TTT did not make the TOP 100.

One of the rankings I can agree with more than with most others - especially the EMPIRE ranking published recently. At least this one has more focus on classics and less zeitgeist bias.

My biggest complain would be the presence of AVATAR which is - imho - only explainable because of its importance for the rise of 3D and digital cinema.

Though such rankings mainly remain an exercise in futility, I guess. As Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan told THR before sending in his votes: "I reject the idea. To me, it's the equivalent of having a party-size bag of Nacho Doritos, then being told to eat only five."

"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien

We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.
