RE: The 100 Greatest American Movies...didn't bother to read it.

I heard a radio program disecct this list. It was based on positive review percentages, so a pedestrian movie that all the critics agreed that it was just fine for what the picture intended to do, like toootise, got a hundred percent rating.

while another movie, in this case "citizen cane" was downgraded because one modern on line post said they didn't get it, so the movie got downgraded for negative reviews. 100% positive verses less than 100%, as with most adult themed movies that are designed to be more challenging.

Most art is controversial, and are hard to fit into a list of perceived greatness. A fluff enjoyable movie is recognized as what it is , and if it is an actable commodity, a good reviewer would recognize it as such, and not bring up the obvious stupidity of a farce comedy, since when people want popcorn, they are not buying a challenging gourmet meal exploring concepts.
