   The fact that some fools voted them into a "Top 100" list (one of   
   *MANY* *MANY* such lists that are all different) doesn't actually mean   
   they're good movies, it often doesn't even mean they're popular movies.   
   They're usually a load of utter crap in those kinds of lists.

   Nope. I've never seen nor read probably any of the garbage promoted as   
   "classic", other than the few we were forced to "study" at school.   
      
      
      
   > What do you consider to be great cinema?   
      
   Even if I bothered to make a list, there probably wouldn't be any silly   
   "classic" or "blockbuster" movies on it.

   Can't say I've ever seen a Michael Bay movie (not that I bother to know   
   who makes or stars in the movies - I'm more interested in the story   
   than stalking some idiot celebrity's career) ... they're all silly   
   explosions and car chases aren't they.
