There’s no way The Social Network is better than WALL-E or Everything Everywhere either for that matter.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Was Top Gun: Maverick really that good? Or is this recency bias? I never saw it.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 8 points 3 days ago

It was a generic action film, not bad, but not top 100 IMO.

Clearly NYTimes readers need to watch more films beyond what's advertised to them.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lord of the rings not making to top 3 AND missing 2 towers? Yeah this list is rigged

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The LotR: The Two Towers is #43

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

It's for the 21st century only.

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

I think, I have to improve my reading skills.

[–] catty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In that case, there aren't any.
