Hi mate. Agree with a lot of those films to be honest. I just went through the list and it's staggering how many just plain "ok" films have made the 250 ! I'm still amazed Shawshank is still the top one. Great film but surprised it hasn't been toppled yet. Keep the videos coming 👍
@@gavnewton77 Yeah Shawshank's number one placement is pretty sacrosanct at this point it feels! But you're right a lot of OK films litter the list. I'd have to count how many I wouldn't have a problem with at all.. maybe 100 of them?
@reel_reflections the real or "reel" problem is... it's always gonna be subjective ! But. You can clearly see some bizarre inclusions whether subjective or not !
Tom Hanks and Mel Gibson are coming round your house to beat you up 😂. Sounds like it is time for you to say goodbye to the IMDB list and focus on the cinema you love 🎞❤.
A movie comes out, everybody likes it, sees it, gives 8-10 stars, it ends up in the TOP 250 together with classics that stood the test of time. I do not agree with this. I think before the movie ends up on this list (I know how they calculate that, the formula is on IMDB publicly shared) a movie needs to be at least lets say 5 years old.
@@reel_reflections Personally, I had a problem with Nolans Batan film(s) who instanly made it into the TOP 250. This influenced the critics and the viewers and put these movie more into focus.
Disagree on Snatch. It's deserving. Don't think the accident is clunky. Dark Knight Rises is not hated. You lost me when you said not understanding the Dark Knight though. But everyone's entitled to have an opinion.
@@derred723 Hi Derred thanks for commenting! I guess my point with DKR is that on coming out I remember it being quite divisive and it still manages to be within the top 75 movies ever, that was surprising to me. With Snatch and the accident scene, it is confusingly directed as there's nothing to indicate we are going briefly backwards in time each time we shift character perspective, it's clunky exposition and a gag that doesn't land for me as a result. And yeah the Dark Knight adoration I've never understood. I've always thought it really derivative (Mann's Heat and There Will be Blood's score being major 'influences').

I like your video. It feels like listening/talking to a friend. Keep making these videos please. I am an IMDB user since March 2005 (!).
@@MekintoshLarja Thanks for that Mekintosh! Very kind of you to say that and I'm glad you enjoy the video. That's about as far back as me I reckon!
@@reel_reflections You can make a part 2 video examining why some films (and which ones) are not in the top 250 list.
Thank you.

@@steve4films Hi Steve! I pretty much did exactly this 15 years ago or so 😂 It's why I still haven't seen all the films on the list haha.
@@steve4films also I feel like Tom would have a polite word over tea, whereas Mel would maim me.
@@reel_reflectionsDon’t get taken in by Hanks’ mild mannered demeanour. He’s actually a sadistic killer 😂

@@MekintoshLarja That's something I would welcome Mekintosh! I'm always wary of instant classics, even when I'm personally really entertained by them.

You're not one to shy away from controversy are you 😂
@@DOUBLEA1 Guilty I suppose! I know I can't be the only one to think the majority of these ten films are bad!
You don't like Forest Gump? lol. Ok man. Again. Entitled to an opinion. Agree to disagree. It's an exceptional film.
@@derred723 for me it's well made but to what end?
