I'll be completely honest....I think it's a very poor list (imo), with the LOTR trilogy being the only deserving one on the list, although I don't even think that should be on the list because it's not fair to include all three films in making the determination. As much as I like the trilogy, none of the movies individually deserve to be on the list, although collectively they do.
It's not to say I don't like any of the films on the list--I do. I think Mystic River and Children of Men are excellent films. However, this list exemplies why I've always had little respect for Travers as a reviewer. His reviews are baffling at times, he prefers domestic decent budget sized films, and he has very little film insight.
