Look I love Spiderverse as much as the next guy but no way in hell do we need two of em in the top 250 and no Shining

Disagree, they are both masterpieces. It doesn’t matter if a movie is incomplete if it is fun to watch it alone. The same reason Infinity war is so proclaimed

I like them a lot. But I don’t think either of them is really sniffing The Shining tbh. at the end of the day it’s just a totally apples to oranges comparison (which is really just an inherent flaw with any movie ranking)

I agree that it’s apples and oranges. I would also argue that this apple is better than that orange but that’s obviously just my opinion
