It's like comparing schlocky 50s westerns to Unforgiven.

Ranking movies is stupid anyway. It's like "Starting with Apples and Oranges, rank the top fruits 1-100"
They are all different in their own way and have their own qualities. Unforgiven is reactionary film to the heroic traditional Western but it wouldn't have existed without those traditional John Ford westerns that are landmarks in their own way.
How do you fairly compare Fritz Lang's Metropolis, made over a century ago to a modern science fiction film like BR2049? They have their own qualities and impact on the genre contemporaneous to when they were made.
