I really, truly hated Jules and Jim, but the exact reasons are fuzzy. But I've hated every Truffaut I've seen - sooner or later will have to borrow The 400 Blows just to make sure I can write him off completely.

actually it's still better than that deadening manga-esque film 'renaissance' (which also features daniel craig providing the voice for the lead character...hmm..)

"wizard of oz" is the only great movie on this list.

i like "jules and jim" but it's out of place in this list anyway, it's like the only remotely obscure (and not very obscure at that) thing here.

(They're 100% wrong about a few of those, too: 2001? Wizard of Oz?)
I mean, really, who gives a crap about Forrest Gump?
If anyone thinks there aren't a lot of people out there who rate Forrest Gump, American Beauty, et al...try taking a look at people's favorite movies on, say, Match.com sometime. It's like a Gump/American Beauty/Chocolat lovefest there. And Gump is a permanent part of American popular culture.
And no, I really don't believe the public at large rates many of these movies very highly at all
Not Moonstruck or Jules and Jim, no. But American Beauty, Good Will Hunting, Forrest Gump, A Beautiful Mind, they're like the Four Horsemen of Mediocrity, and they hold sway over a lot of people out there (once you get outside of NYC and DC, anyway).

Person 1: ".....[blah blah blah] Moonstruck...."Person 2: "Oh, Moonstruck! I love that movie, it's one of my alltime favorites!"
And I don't really remember too much about Moonstruck, so I'm always a little baffled by it, but I accept it's one of those movies that people really love that did nothing for me.
The other movie where this happens a lot: The Big Lebowski.

I finally saw Chicago last summer, and was positively surprised, it was actually better than its reviews suggested.
