The Best Movies Of All Time

Ranky chose this list this week because of a list he read on on Film School Rejects. See they said they complied The 10 Greatest Movies of All Time (According to the Internet) but really they got a bunch of movie critics together to choose them. Now, that’s not the Internet…you guys are the Internet and you voted on our list….a lot. Personally, Ranky doesn’t trust people who put Empire Records on their personal top 10 movie list that is clearly a guilty pleasure pick. A lot of these seem to be “safe” choices and the don’t even get Ranky started on the female critics on their lists…Ranky is quite the film snob. However, the fact several critics chose “The Apartment” made up for a lot of other things ( mainly Alison Long and Gwen Reyes choices).

What can we say…we like to spoil you rotten with new and easy to use features. This new feature is List Criteria. Have you ever been on a list and wondered “how did they decide this thing should be on this list?” List Criteria answers that question for you.

Now, when you make a list you can easily tell people the ground rules and criteria you used to select your items. For instance on this list:

Best Theatre Shows Currently Running In L.A

(Click on the image for a larger view)

Arial Kana decided to use live performances that are currently running in L.A. So, if you really loved West Side Story at the Pantages and you wanted to put it on this list you couldn’t because it’s not currently running. If you love Billy Elliot you could add it because that is currently at the Pantages. Get it?

It’s a great way to clarify your list and help others add relevant content. Maker sure you sue List Criteria and let us know what you think of it at feedback@ranker.com.

Happy Ranking!
