Top 100? Seriously?

I swiped this from Adam, who got the list from Entertainment Weekly. It's a list of their Top 100 movies of the last 25 years. Personally I'm wondering who the chimps are who made up this list and where some of the actual top movies are. But hey, that's me.

I actually just got a copy of Aliens which I plan on watching in the near future and Natural Born Killers I should be able to find at work. Believe me, they've been on my list of movies to watch for a very long time.
