The popular and always fun web entertainment site, Mr. Showbiz asked Critics and readers to rate the 100 best English-language films made since the birth of the talkies.
The lists for the Critics and the Readers had some interesting differences. I don't think many critics chose BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD for their lists (number 25 on the reader's list), but that is what diversity is all about, isn't it?
It is by no means a definitive list, but it's fun to browse. Enjoy
