So in their most recent issues, Entertainment Weekly has named the Top 100 New Classic Films of the last 25 years.
Ignoring the numerous films that clearly do not belong on there (Casino Royale and Clueless, anyone?), let me list you a few movies that did not even make the list. Remember, this is a list of 100 classic films from the last 25 years…
The Usual Suspects
A Christmas Story
American Beauty
Braveheart
Bull Durham
Forrest Gump
Hoosiers
Return of the Jedi
A Few Good Men
Ferris Beuller’s Day Off
And to top it off (and I’m honestly not joking), THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION is not on the list!! The movie that is consistently ranked #1 or #2 of all time by IMDB, rated in the top 100 of all time by dozens of lists, including AFI, does not even make the TOP 100 OF THE LAST 25 YEARS.
Entertainment Weekly, you and the mentally handicapped rhesus monkeys that you had compile this list are officially irrelevant.
