Starting to think I lowballed Astro Boy a bit. It's definitely behind the 4 shows above it in terms of acclaim (in the west at least) but I think it clearly makes up for it in influence and cultural impact. I moved it from 13 to 10.

I figure The Big Short/Moneyball should be ahead of Captain Phillips/American Hustle/The Descendants, since their initial credentials are all fairly interchangeable (moderately high grossing awards favorites), while the former clearly do better in terms of lasting popularity/acclaim and influence is ...

Initial Acclaim: TSN

Lasting Popularity: Pretty much a tie
Influence: Close/neither really have all that much

So...

Mean Girls and Revenge of the Sith both seem like significant omissions. Huge popularity and plenty of lasting acclaim as well.

Mean Girls was also a film breakthrough for Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lizzy Caplan.

Is Dekalog considered to be significantly more acclaimed than Red or Blue?

I'd maybe consider switching Certified Copy + Through the Olive Trees as CC is significantly higher on the 2010's list (even if the 90's is stronger). But, not a must switch or anything.


Dekalog is clearly his most ...

I'm curious how The Defiant Ones and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner compare?

Also I'd move Monster below Nobody Knows, as I think NK has a clearer win in acclaim than Monster has in popularity.
