Well, I think IMDb's Top250 list is full of movies that are highly entertaining and perfectly made (in movie-making terms) and that are also cult-movies. I think Fight Club, Star Wars, Psycho, The Matrix, and The Shining are well-done, really good movies which are definitely cult-films.

That's my opinion, don't jump over me because of it. If you have low standarts, that's your own problem.

Well, since all movies where rated by thousands of people, I believe they do deserve in the top 250. Besides that, what the hell is wrong with Fight Club? That is my no. 1 of all time! :cry:

Right there is the problem. You're asserting that you standards are OBJECTIVELY better than other peoples'. For you to claim that a film is "undeserving" of being on a Top 250 list when it has been voted on by thousands of people to get there is effectively removing your claims from the territory of "my opinion", which would be subjective, into an objective territory which doesn't exist. Film is SUBJECTIVE, just because you didn't like a movie, doesn't change that MANY other people did.

That's real fair. And totally not hypocritical. :roll:

I would want to list the movies which I think should be on top 250 rather than talk about those which don't deserve to be on that list.

Titanic
Cast Away
Zodiac
A Beautiful Mind

Zodiac, really?
I didn't really like that one. Can you explain your opinion? (It was a long time ago that I saw it, try if you can convince me to watch it again :D)
