It depends how you define "best". And since everyone defines it differently, I have no problem with some of the movies that look out of place.

Heck, I like Juno, but I also liked Dumb and Dumber. I thought Fight Club was OK, but no way it should be where it ranked(23), and Blood Diamond (249) should be way higher. But that is just me and I know for many, many people, those rankings are exactly how they like those moves.

The good thing about these lists are it reminds me of movies I want to see, and perhaps convinces me to watch a few I wouldn't have considered before. If I see it in the $10 DVD rack, maybe I'll give it a shot.

I wonder how many of these movies HD actually owns?
