The article critiques the process of creating ranked pop-culture lists and expresses frustration over overlooked films. It highlights some titles, such as 'Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,' 'Sexy Beast,' 'All Is Lost,' and 'Paddington 2.'

It raises questions about representation in the rankings, especially concerning Steven Spielberg's works, urging readers to consider the broader landscape of cinema.
"What about Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World? It's a fantastically rollicking, Swiss watch-precise naval adventure that captures Patrick O'Brian's epic spirit."
"You've got to admire how cleverly the Times rolled out the results of their poll over the course of several days, building suspense like a young Brian De Palma."
