Entertainment Weekly announced today it’s list of the 100 greatest films of the last 25 years. Which is a great idea, but someone forgot to tell them what made a good movie.
You can check out the list here.
Absolute garbage like Shrek, Napoleon Dynamite and the Matrix all made the list (and above Back to the Future, to boot!) I went through the the top 25 and the bottom 25 and there was nary a Star Wars movie to be found (I’m hoping the 4 released in the last 25 years are hidden in the middle somewhere but the idiotic movies that made the list pissed me off so bad I didn’t want to look anymore. No sign of Ghostbusters, either.)
So, I’m issuing a Big Shiny Robot! challenge.
In the comments below, give me a list of what you think the 10 best movies of the last 25 years are. I’ll compile your suggestions together along with my own impeccable tastes and we’ll show Entertainment Weekly what a bunch of thumb-sucking morons they really are.
Bear in mind, this list isn’t just about Nerd movies, either. This should be a list of the greatest films of the last 25 years. Stuff like Goodfellas and Rushmore, Shakespeare in Love and Quiz Show… You know what I mean? Keep the prestige pictures in mind, too. Which reminds me, The Prestige should be on the list, too….
Also, Shrek, Napoleon Dynamite and the Matrix are inelegible, due to massive sucking.
