WALL-E on the Top 250

[MidgardDragon]

*sigh* As silly as I know it is, it still makes me sad. Here's the list of movies that are voted "better" than it:

1. 9.1 The Godfather (1972)
2. 9.1 The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
3. 9.0 The Godfather: Part II (1974)
4. 8.9 Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966)
5. 8.9 Pulp Fiction (1994)
6. 8.8 Schindler's List (1993)
7. 8.8 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
8. 8.8 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
9. 8.8 Casablanca (1942)
10. 8.8 Star Wars (1977)
11. 8.8 12 Angry Men (1957)
12. 8.8 Shichinin no samurai (1954)
13. 8.7 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
14. 8.7 Goodfellas (1990)
15. 8.7 Rear Window (1954)
16. 8.7 Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
17. 8.7 Cidade de Deus (2002)
18. 8.7 C'era una volta il West (1968)
19. 8.7 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
20. 8.7 The Usual Suspects (1995)

Here's a list of movies I'll happily proclaim WALL-E better than:

1. 9.1 The Godfather (1972)
3. 9.0 The Godfather: Part II (1974)
8. 8.8 Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
9. 8.8 Casablanca (1942)
10. 8.8 Star Wars (1977)
13. 8.7 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
14. 8.7 Goodfellas (1990)
16. 8.7 Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
19. 8.7 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
20. 8.7 The Usual Suspects (1995)

I only left a few off because I genuinely thought WALL-E and that movie both deserved the spot, most of the ones I took off are ones I haven't seen.

Woah, you think Wall•E is better than the Godfather?

WALL•E IS #21 AND 8.8?? Man, what has IMDb come to?

Hmm, some of those movies I think are really good. I even think one of them is better than WALL·E. Some I haven't seen.

But yeah, it deserves to be higher.

[fructose]

What movie is that, Swan?

Absolutely. The Godfather makes me want to die.

Well, the two are The Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction.

It makes you want to die?

I took those off of the second list, which is the list I made of movies that I will gladly proclaim WALL-E better than.

Yes, it is overrated and quite boring, IMO. It makes me want to die that the entirety of the "film buff" world seems to think it's the "best movie ever". I really dislike it.

Ah. I haven't heard of Shawshank and I still need to see Pulp Fiction.

You forgot to remove Pulp Fiction

I love the film, but it is severely overrated, I agree. I actually searched the other day to figure out why people think this is the greatest film of all time. I couldn't find an answer, really.

Fixed!

Thanks

I agree with most of those, although some I haven't seen.

It Was 26 Last I Checked The Other Day, When I Went To Make Sure TDK Was Still Number 1.

Gotta say WALL-E has done exceptionally well. At the end of the day, it's a general popularity list and the only opinion that should matter is yours and yours alone... but I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy with it's high placement.

Completely agree. I like to say I don't care what people think because as long as I like it, they don't matter . . . but privately, yeah, I'm checking the board daily, too.
