Well--and I think this is Jiri's point--this list doesn't measure which movies are "better"--they just measure what critics at that time thought about them.
Star Wars in its time may well have received a lukewarm critical reception, despite its popular success. It has stood the test of time somewhat, but I can see a movie critic in 1979 writing it off as pablum.
