Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time
There are many inconsistencies like that on the two lists. I know they haven't done a full update with those films, but I see no reason not to wait for it, since it will probably be in a couple of months.
Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time
On the old forums, I brought up adding The Magnificent Seven (1960) and Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) to this list. I believe that the consensus was against this, arguing that John Sturges was too undistinguished a director to have more than one film on the list (his The Great Escape [1963] already being on it) and that two Star Wars pictures was enough (even though all three Lord of the Rings pictures are on the list). For the sake of conversation, I'm going to, once again, put forth the argument that these two movies have what it takes to be on the main list.
Credentials for The Magnificent Seven (1960):
1. Although a remake of Seven Samurai (1954), this film, along with next year's The Guns of Navarone (1961), was instrumental in laying down the building blocks of the modern-style action-adventure picture in the West (no pun intended exactly). The macho men-on-a-mission movie with colorful characters cracking wise as they mow down waves of faceless baddies to incredible theme music arguably started here.
2. It was, at one point at least, the second-most-played movie on American television (after The Wizard of Oz [1939]).
3. Elmer Bernstein's Oscar-nominated musical score, which became the theme for Marlboro cigarettes for a while, is truly iconic, being ranked the eighth-best musical score for an American-made movie by the American Film Institute and practically becoming synonymous with the western genre (often being referenced in popular culture).
4. It was a critical launchpad for further success for many of the now-iconic cast members.
5. It's on the United States' National Film Registry.
6. It started a film series, inspired a T.V. show of the same name, and resulted in a remake.
7. It became the highest-grossing Hollywood movie in the Soviet Union at the time.
8. The Clash released as song titled "The Magnificent Seven."
9. The film's "Tomatometer" (critics' approval rating) is 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, with its "Popcornmeter" (audiences' approval rating) being 87% on Rotten Tomatoes
10. On the rank-every-movie-you've-ever-seen website FlickChart, it's ranked at #270 overall.
11. The American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Thrills retrospective named it the #79th most exciting American-made movie of all time.
12. It has a 7.7 rating on IMDb, out of about 105,000 votes.
Credentials for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983):
1. It was the highest-grossing movie of 1983, with its per-theater-average in the United States on an inflation-adjusted basis not being beaten until Avengers: Endgame (2019).
2. It's on the United States' National Film Registry.
3. It introduced even more iconic Star Wars characters, such as Jabba the Hutt, the Ewoks, the Ian McDiarmid version of Emperor Palpatine, and Admiral Ackbar (who was a fan favorite even before the "It's a trap!" meme).
4. It was nominated for four regular Oscars (Best Art Direction, Best Original Score, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Sound), and won a special Oscar for Visual Effects.
5. It is probably mostly responsible for adding the "villain redemption trope" to the Star Wars franchise.
6. Its overall rank on FlickChart is a whopping #7.
7. For Rotten Tomatoes, its "Tomatometer" is 82%, while its "Popcornmeter" is 94%. The separate RT page for its 40th Anniversary re-release has its "Popcornmeter" being 99%, with no "Tomatometer" given.
8. Its rating on IMDb is 8.3 (making it #93 on that website's Top 250 of all time list) out of 1,200,000 votes, with it being the 54th-most-seen film on IMDb.
9. It was one of 400 American-made films to be on the ballot for the 1998 edition of the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Movies retrospective.
10. John Williams' musical score introduced several more tunes now famous to Star Wars fans.
11. The 40th anniversary theatrical re-release of the movie made it to #4 at the box office for the weekend.
12. The Star Wars franchise would continue on in a pretty healthy shape after its release.
Okay, I'm throwing one more film's hat into the ring: The Guns of Navarone (1961). I think it has a solid chance of meeting the list's criteria.
Credentials for The Guns of Navarone (1961):
1. Like the aforementioned The Magnificent Seven (1960), it was a critical entry into the modern-style action-adventure genre, playing an extremely important role in laying down the building blocks of that style. Two of the leading choices to play James Bond in Dr. No (1962) (David Niven and Stanley Baker) starred in this picture.
2. It was nominated for seven Oscars (Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay - Based on Material from Another Medium, Best Film Editing, Best Music Score of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Best Sound, and Best Special Effects), winning one (the Best Special Effects one).
3. It was nominated for three Golden Globes (Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director - Motion Picture, and Best Original Score - Motion Picture), winning two (the Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Original Score - Motion Picture ones).
4. It had a sequel (Force 10 from Navarone [1978]).
5. It was ranked the #89th most exciting American-made movie as part of the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Thrills retrospective.
6. It was one of the first (if not the first) cinematic adaptations of an Alistair MacLean book, paving the way for the likes of The Satan Bug (1965), Ice Station Zebra (1968), Where Eagles Dare (1968), Breakheart Pass (1975), Force 10 from Navarone (1978), etc.
7. Dimitri Tiomkin's Oscar-nominated musical score is famous, with the main theme being covered by The Skatalites, Johnny Griffin, Al Ciaola, and Hollyridge Strings.
8. It has a 7.5 rating on IMDb, out of 57,000 votes.
9. Its overall ranking on FlickChart is #806.
10. It was the second-highest grossing movie of 1961.
11. On Rotten Tomatoes, its "Tomatometer" is 92% and its "Popcornmeter" is 86%.
12. It's occasionally referenced in popular culture (including in Pulp Fiction [1994]), with the "In popular culture" section of the movie's Wikipedia page listing some of these instances.
I don't know the criteria as well as some of you, but I think that these three credentials breakdowns make compelling cases for their respective inclusions.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that, on Empire's Top 500 Movies list, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi is #91 and The Magnificent Seven is #217. The Guns of Navarone didn't make the list.

Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time
All three are on their respective decade lists. Try to get them higher there first by comparing them with films you think they should be ahead of using the criteria. Mind that we are aware of their credentials, otherwise they wouldn't be on those lists.
Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time
I could see Return of the Jedi a bit higher on the 80's list, but to get on the Top 500 list means we'd need to push it up a good 40+ slots on the 80's list, which I don't see as realistic.

Comparing Return of the Jedi to The Last Crusade since they should have fairly similar credentials
Initial Acclaim: Return of the Jedi close
Lasting Critical Acclaim: The Last Crusade close
Lasting Audience Acclaim: close

Comparing it to Beverly Hills Cop

Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time (Revision Version)
Why Jaws above Casablanca??
Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time (Revision Version)
More influence and arguably more popularity as well, and it's not like Jaws isn't very acclaimed in its own right.
Re: 500 Greatest Movies of All Time (Revision Version)
My thoughts on this
- I really like the Jaws and Matrix jumps. I could see The Matrix even higher honestly. When compared with Goldfinger, The Matrix clearly takes acclaim, Goldfinger takes influence, but a bit less easily in my opinion, and The Matrix might take popularity as well. I'd give it popularity and influence over Raging Bull, both wins being pretty clear cut. I'd have The Matrix right ahead of The Terminator, as The Matrix takes popularity and acclaim while The Terminator takes influence, all wins being clear but none being particularly huge.
- Moving up Forrest Gump didn't seem right on first glance, but I guess it's hard to argue that it doesn't take acclaim and popularity over Rocky and Halloween while having some clear influence on visual effects.
- I'm good with moving Avatar up, but that change seems a bit lofty since Jurassic Park would definitely seem to take acclaim while popularity and influence are close (and I think Jurassic Park probably takes influence as well). I also think The Texas Chain Saw Massacre takes acclaim and influence. I'd say Avatar should be at #134, right ahead of Dr. No.
- However, I don't think Avatar should be ahead of Terminator 2, which takes acclaim and influence over it. It's cited as possibly the most influential film on the implementation of CGI in film. I'd say it should be back to back with Jurassic Park, with Terminator taking influence, Jurassic Park taking popularity, and acclaim being close.
- I support Oppenheimer being on the list somewhere but, until we let its legacy settle a bit, that position seems rather lofty, especially considering that the film actually moved down on the last TSPDT 21st century update. I'd have it around where EEAAO is.
- I'd have Le Samourai slightly higher. I'd give it popularity and influence over Contempt and A Woman Under the Influence. It takes acclaim, and, I'd argue, influence over The Ten Commandments. When compared with Nashville, I'd give it influence, Nashville acclaim, while popularity is close.
- I support moving up Paris, Texas and I like where you moved it as well.
- Not sure about adding Anora or Barbie. I think a newer film on the list should clearly be among the top 10 most acclaimed and popularity and I don't think Anora is clearly at that level of popularity. For Barbie, I don't think it beats, for example, Being John Malkovich, which would seem to take acclaim and influence (as Kaufman's breakthrough), Ratatouille, which clearly takes acclaim and is hardly far behind in popularity, or Alexander Nevsky which would seem to take acclaim and influence. On the Town and Ashes and Diamonds seem to win those categories as well. As Fido (fairly reasonably pointed out), it might not even beat Top Gun: Maverick.
I guess for now I think the 2020s films on the list should look like this:
1. Dune: Part Two
2. Dune
3. Oppenheimer
4. EEAAO
- The Truman Show is now the 6th most watched film of all time on Letterboxd and 2nd for its decade. Additionally, quite a few films in recent years (Barbie, Wicked, Free Guy) have sighted the film as a direct influence, which would seem to indiciate that its credentials have improved in several ways.
Some breakdowns
vs L.A. Confidential
Acclaim: L.A. Confidential close
Popularity: Truman Show, less close

- Princess Mononoke could use a pretty large boost imo. It's acclaim and popularity have increased a fair amount in recent years while it's also arguably Miyazaki's most influential film being widely cited as a milestone in Anime's popular and critical recognition. Also cited as an influence on Avatar for whatever that's worth.
Some breakdowns with films from the same year
vs Boogie Nights
Acclaim: Boogie Nights close
Popularity: Princess Mononoke less close

vs Beauty and the Beast (the disney one)

- It seems like Dead Poets Society has had a resurgence in popularity in recent years to the point that it's the 2nd most watched film from the 1980s on Letterboxd. I'd say it's more popular and acclaimed than say, Grease or the Evil Dead. I think it's more popular than Gandhi, while acclaim and influence are close. It seems very comparable with Breakfast Club/Princess Bride/Animal House so I'd have it near those films.
- Also, not to rehash old debates, but, in retrospect, I see little justification for Birdman being ahead of, say, How Green Was My Valley, When Harry Met Sally, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Blazing Saddles, Robocop, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Slumdog Millionaire, Ratatouille, I could go on. I realize this means changing the 2010s list as well.
Breaking down some of these matchups to prove my point
vs How Green Was My Valley
Initial Acclaim: Pretty close, I guess, leaning towards HGWMV
Lasting Critical Acclaim: HGWMV fairly easily
Lasting Audience Acclaim: Close
Initial Popularity: How Green Was My Valley easily
Lasting Popularity: Hard to define, but also leaning towards How Green Was My Valley
Influence: Birdman, I guess, but its influence seems minor at best
vs Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Initial Acclaim: Birdman fairly easily
Lasting Critical Acclaim: FBDO
Lasting Audience Acclaim: close
Initial Popularity: FBDO
Lasting Popularity: FBDO easily
Influence: seems close
vs Robocop
Acclaim: Close, leaning towards Birdman (initial: Birdman, lasting: RoboCop)
Popularity: RoboCop
Influence: RoboCop
In terms of other 2010s films, I think Black Swan or Wolf of Wall Street would be worthy replacements for Birdman.

Yeah, hard disagree on adding Anora and Oppenheimer so high. I wouldn't even add Oppenheimer but I can see I'm alone on that. The other changes seem reasonable.

wiki wrote:Beauty and the Beast is widely regarded as a groundbreaking animated film due to its unprecedented combination of critical acclaim, box office success, accolades, and overall cultural impact.[150] As one of the earliest Disney animated films to integrate computer-generated imagery in a way that significantly enhanced narrative and visual storytelling, it represents a pivotal transition between Disney's traditionally animated works and what would evolve into the artistic standard for modern animation,[150] merging "the elegant simplicity of Disney's early fairy tales with elevated character development", according to IndieWire.[151] Film critics and scholars recognize Beauty and the Beast for its innovative use of animation techniques achieved by blending traditional animation with computer-generated imagery, particularly exemplified by the ballroom sequence.[63][152][153][154][155] Film critic Richard Corliss said that, only four years later, Pixar's Toy Story would take full advantage of the computer animation foundation laid by Beauty and the Beast.[156] Retrospective critics have argued that Beauty and the Beast marked a significant shift in Disney's depiction of female leads,[63][157] being considered as much a departure from Cinderella (1950) and Sleeping Beauty as it was a precursor to Mulan (1998) and Moana (2016).[158]
Although The Little Mermaid had been a significant achievement in restoring Disney's animation department, Beauty and the Beast would serve as the crucial follow-up test to prove whether Disney's resurgence was long-lasting, especially following the underperformance of The Rescuers Down Under.[61] The film's success ultimately cemented Disney's return to dominating the animation industry as a forerunning entry in the Disney Renaissance.[159][155] Journalist and filmmaker Bilge Ebiri identifies Beauty and the Beast, particularly its unfinished screening at the 1991 New York Film Festival, as a turning point in shifting the public stigma that had dismissed animated films as mere children's entertainment for decades.[61] This event, he argues, helped critics and audiences recognize the complexity, artistry, and decision-making involved in animation, paving the way for the medium's acceptance as legitimate cinema.[61] Similarly, Emma Cochrane of Empire wrote in a 2000 review that Beauty and the Beast signals the beginning of the public referring to animated films as "animated features" instead of "cartoons", which was encouraged by the film's animation, music, and storytelling appealing to adults arguably more than any prior animated film.[63] According to Bill Gibron of PopMatters, the film's Best Picture Oscar nomination transcended categorical limitations, legitimizing animated films as serious contenders at the Academy Awards beyond musical and technical categories, and paving the way for future animated films to compete for Best Picture.[160] The high standard set by the film continues to impact current Disney projects.[158] According to Bruce Westbrook of the Houston Chronicle, Beauty and the Beast remains Disney's "crowning achievement", crediting it with cementing the studio's Broadway-style approach to animated musicals that would ultimately inspire their own stage adaptations.[161] Additionally, writers for IndieWire believe the ballroom sequence alone "deserves to be recognized as one of the great moments in movie history".[151
