That wasn't a film about music school - that's a film about an abusive relationship. And that's not "jazz drumming" either. That's a film where people can do BIG ACTING and it seems intense, but ultimately has no substance.

To each his own, but the movie was overblown and over popular - IMHO.


I guess the AFI lists are the ones that make more sense to me:
Top 10 of 10 genres: https://www.afi.com/afis-10-top-10/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_10_Top_10


Top 100 Movies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years...100_Movies_(10th_Anniversary_Edition)

That list is from 2006 - so it's missing some new ones - but Inception would not make that list.


But if you're enjoying the IMDB lowest denominator list then it's FINE. It's LOADS better than RT's https://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/

Seriously, have fun watching the movies and just skip the ones you don't like - it's like a book - there's a point where I can stop reading a book if it's going nowhere.
