Time's 100 greatest movies

A couple of comments on Time Magazine's list of the 100 greatest movies. First, any list like this is, by definition, subjective, so there are always going to be disagreements. Secondly, it's tough to evaluate whether a movie is legitimately on the list without having seen it, and there are a lot of, mostly older, films that I've not seen. That said, some things strike me whilst walking through it.

The only Disney movie on the list is not Cinderella, not Snow White, not Sleeping Beauty or Beauty and the Beast or even Mary Poppins. No, it's Pinocchio. Sorry. Wrong. Nothing wrong with Pinocchio, but not the best Disney film.

Likewise for Pixar. If I were to list the Pixar films in order of quality, I'd start with The Incredibles and Toy Story, followed by Monsters, Inc. and Toy Story 2. The one Pixar film that I couldn't sit through again? Finding Nemo, which makes Time's list.

They got the right two Clint Eastwood movies, with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Unforgiven.

The other Sergio Leone, movie, however, was the wrong one. As good as Once Upon A Time In The West is, and it is very good, it's not as good as Once Upon A Time In America. The full version.

I liked The Purple Rose Of Cairo, but it wasn't as good as Radio Days.

I'm actually a big fan of Brazil, but it doesn't warrant inclusion on this list.

Only one Bogart? No Treasure of the Sierra Madre? No African Queen?

Speaking of prominent omissions, they've left off both of the 1939 classics, Gone With The Wind and The Wizard Of Oz. I love Meet Me In St. Louis, but it's no Wizard of Oz. Gone With The Wind would make my list even if you cut it down to the 10 best. Bad omissions...

Groundhog Day is not on the list. It should be.
