After reading this list and comparing it to the one Bobby posted, it looks like the critics favor older movies. The majority of these particular critics' picks are movies from the 40s-60s. There were only five or six movies on this list that came out after 2000. City of God, Finding Nemo, the LOTR trilogy, and a couple others I had never heard of.

On the other hand, the popular opinion-based list seems to include newer movies, which makes sense. People tend to favor films that have come out since they were born. Especially now, since filmmaking is vastly different than how it used to be (special effects-driven movies are huge nowadays, and obviously didn't exist back then).
I agree with you there myk.

I also find it always funny that close to zero Asian Movies are being included in those lists. Movies like memories of murder, OldBoy, Battle Royale, Hero and so on..

It's Hollywood and 95% Hollywood which just isn't a top 100 list anymore then, at least in my eyes.
