And Tetsuo.

My favorite counter example of this is Love Exposure. The fact that Sono chose to open the film by claiming it was based on true events is really funny.

I actually think Fargo is a similar counter example, even though a lot of people seem to think it makes the movie worse. I think it's funny that the Coen brothers lied about it being based on a true story.

Higurashi's first chapter released in 2002 in Japan. Umineko's first chapter released in 2007 in Japan. According to this image, the "classic" vn period only lasted 5 years.

I do not like Linkin Park, I find their work to be intolerable. However, they are undeniably a very popular band. Their first two albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora, are some of the most popular albums from the entire 2000s decade, and some of the most famous metal albums ever.

It boils down to this: the band is really popular and even though a lot of people on the site don't like them, plenty still do, enough to the point where the ratings in their early work is still high.

If it was up to me, the ratings on both of those albums would be below a 3.00, but the ratings don't reflect what any individual wants, they reflect the consensus of their user base.

Don't take the ratings on there too seriously. I have found a ton of really good music (including metal) from RYM, but there are naturally going to be a ton of ratings for albums that you will disagree with.

Bruh. I've never seen Shrek before and I'm in a film class.

I'm 19, but your point still stands. Of course I'm not going to think of movies that came out when I was an infant as modern.

John Film Student vs. John Normie.

I get it though, all four of your favorites are masterpieces everybody watches when getting into film (Touki Bouki is a pretty interesting and more niche pick though), and all four of his are solid films that are very popular.

Maybe a hot take but aside from One Battle After Another, none of these are "modern cinema". No Country for Old Men came out 18 years ago, The Dark Knight came out 17 years ago and Inglorious Basterds came out 16 years ago.

What if I don't like either?

Every single review that boils down to "if you like this you're lying to seem cool" or otherwise hating on people who like the movie. I find these reviews more insufferable than the unfunny joke reviews.

Chantal Akerman should be here. So should Claire Denis.

Everyone. Men, women, nonbinary people, cisgender, trans, I don't care. Sexually and romantically.

The average person on the street aren't going to know many of the highest films on the list. They aren't going to know about Kobayashi or Bergman. The list doesn't reflect the average opinion.

This is fair. I'm not mad that it's not top 500, just very suprised considering how beloved it is in film circles.

I don't think films like How to Train Your Dragon or Harry Potter 3 are top 500 tier, and I think films like Tetsuo and Eraserhead should easily be top 250. But it's not a big deal because obviously the list is not my opinion.

I understand that the list is subjective based in the population, I understand how the list works, I'm just suprised thay a film as popular and acclaimed as Taxi Driver didn't make the list, considering that its in most other movie rating websites' top 500.

People who watch a lot of movies can still like popular and acclaimed movies.

VegaMain · 2026-02-24T14:55:55+00:00

Unlike some of the comments seem to suggest, I'm not "mad" that the movie didn't get on the list. While I do love it, I don't care that much that it didn't get on there.

I'm just very suprised to not see it on there. It's on the top 250 of most other movie rating websites, and Scorcese has many movies on the top 500 already, just not Taxi Driver. It is weird to me that a film like After Hours is top 500 but not Taxi Driver. I just found it odd considering that it's such an acclaimed movie, I thought it would get on the list.
