These "best" lists are always a joke.

Aside from your suspicions of political bias (and I notice that "Dear 
Hunter" is also missing), Apocalypse Now is a far superior film than MANY 
included on this list ("Finding Nemo"?).

And including "Barry Lyndon" instead of "2001" makes no sense.

And is "Purple Rose of Cairo" really Woody Allen's best film?

Ditto "Ikira" by  Akira Kurosawa (what about "Ran"?)?

Ditto "Miller's Crossing" by the Cohen brothers (I like "The Big Lebowski")?
