If you're so sure, then what would your top 10 be?

I have no issues with the following movies from the top list (there are some big omissions but they're all awesome movies):

• The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
• Pulp Fiction (1994)
• The Dark Knight (2008)
• The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
• Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
• Inception (2010)
• Fight Club (1999)
• The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
• Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
• The Matrix (1999)

Schindler's List loses at least one star for its ending alone.

City of God is the only movie there I don't remember watching, so I cannot say much either way. Godfather I've watched so long ago, I won't be saying anything about it now.

Movies really get a lot better as time goes. Old movies near the top are simply not that good.

IMDB's treatment of single multipart movies like Lord of the Rings and especially Kill Bill as multiple separate movies annoys me a lot, but that's an entirely different story.

They famously don't say what the filter is, to prevent gaming. If it is broken now it must have been broken for a long time, because I don't remember any major single-day jumps of late, except for times when they altered the "m" parameter.

Broken as in drastically unrepresentative, not as in gameable.

EDIT: Here's my theory.
