Art house or Blockbuster? Juno or Jason Bourne? Is The Bourne Supremacy really better than Brokeback Mountain? And if Finding Nemo made it, what the hell happened to Shrek? Tell us where we got it wrong, or right, and post your alternative lists below

See complete list.
 
Those bastards, why did they have to have it on 10 pages, 1 would have been easier to peruse.

Bad Santa at #54? lol, I heard that movie was horrible.

I'd have Gladiator higher than #32

Well I guess I probably should see Team America: World Police, surprizingly at #5.

Bad Santa is one of the funniest movies ever made. Seriously, watch it. It is fucking awesome.
 
Love Bad Santa.
 
Talk about a crap list. Though I give them props for including Donnie Darko, which is a top 3 movie of all time for me.

I hate this as well. And it's not only them, it seems like a trend.
 
#66 City of God (Fernando Meirelles, Katia Lund, 2002)
Vital, kinetic and visceral, this Brazilian favela epic sent shockwaves through audiences. The cool and the camaraderie of crime in the face of extreme poverty is powerfully evoked, as is the terrible cost to young lives.

This movie should be much higher up the list.
 
74 Pan’s Labyrinth (Guillermo Del Toro, 2006)
One of the darkest periods in recent Spanish politics is woven into a twisted fairytale, a battle between good and evil that plays out in the imagination of a little girl trying to escape the ugly realities of the real world. Stunning.

Thought that one was real cool, love Spain too...
11 Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Larry Charles, 2006)
The decade’s favourite sexist, anti-Semitic, racist homophobe, Borat picked at the scabs of America’s intolerance and hypocrisy. Sacha Baron Cohen’s status as the most fearless man in comedy is unlikely to be challenged in the near future.

Lol what the hell?
6 Slumdog Millionaire (Danny Boyle, 2008)
Twelve years after Trainspotting, Boyle produces a dizzying Mumbai-set romance that redefines the possibilities of a progressive yet commercially successful national industry. Oscars abound.

Saw this one a few days ago, pretty cool. Still too high though, it is hard to rank such a recent movie maybe.

Pretty controversial list overall, there were just very interesting to me in positive/negative ways.
