I'd have to ask how old were the critics, the newst film was 1968?, to me that says, its been a while since they sat down to watch a film!

Top 10 of anything is always subjective, as your opinion will be biased based on your preferred genre.

Not always. I don't like children. I don't like musicals. How come I can't watch Bugsy Malone without smiling? A lot.
