every pool of people who've done such a list have been from a specified field. imdb.com wouldn't necessarily agree with Sight & Sound readers. Roger Ebert wouldn't necessarily see eye-to-eye with David Walsh. we all have our biases, special interests, needs, quirks, pet peeves, and such. in the end, in the disclaimer that shall precede the list, i will let it be known, although i may call it "the 100 greatest films of all-time," it still is only my opinion.

to repeat, " because after all, what do studied critics and directors know that a teenage kid can't correct."
