since this is the American Film Institute, do they omit it because it's foreign? Probably. No mention of the Seven Samurai or Good, Bad and the Ugly as they're probably not considered American.
I agree with most here that older films are given too much credit. I finally did watch Citizen Kane last year. Was it interesting? Sure. But the best of all time? Casablanca was a better movie I think.
I do like these lists as they give me new (old) movies to watch. There's never enough time, is there? I've only seen 36 of these.
My favourite is on the list, but at 72 (Shawshank), I think it's listed far too low.
