This is a purely quantitative list based on the highest average review on RT. So I'm not sure how the list can lose credibility.

Well I'm not sure how they can rank these movies. Taken on its own, a rating is fine and gives a good representation of if a movie is any "good". But to then compare those ratings between different times and presumably different reviewers will not create a very accurate ranking.
It is like taking all the Presidents Cup winners of the last 30 years and then ranking them based on their regular season point total. It will give an interesting list, but the veracity of the list would be very much up for question.
Edit: But it does make for a good discussion starter.
