They're not talking about best movies though. They're talking about best movie moments/scenes.
To be honest, it would be tough for me to come up with non-superhero/sci-fi/etc scenes that have had any great impact over the last 20 years.

- The Joker from The Dark Knight
- The Snap from Avengers: Infinity War
- “I see dead people” from The Sixth Sense

I think this list from Vanity Fair is much more balanced and is better at explaining why the scenes have cultural or cinematic significance.

Like having Revenge of the Sith in there because it started the full green screen/CGI craze that has been duplicated for the last couple decades (successfully and unsuccessfully).
