Ralphie: I have come to reclaim Rome for MY PEOPLE!
George: (Totally perplexed)
Ralphie: [It's from] GLADIATOR you f-kin idiot!
George: I never saw it.
Ralphie: Well you're an as-hole then.

This is such nonsense.  Every character pays in some form or another.  David Chase is a moralist and not simply a blood soaked nihilist.   The last episodes convey this more than anything.

I like the list a lot! Especially the shout out for Nixon, Dead Man Walking and Heat (the first two did not get a lot of mention in the comments).

Yeah, because there was no "Hollywood nonsense" in T2 or any of the other movies on this list.  So Blair Witch Project is a better movie than Shawshank Redemption?  This list is about young hipster critics trying to be "cool".  That is why lesser Coen (Barton Fink) is on this list but a classic like Shawshank is not.

Both The Insider and Quiz Show are to "middle aged white guy" movies for the hip AV club writers but they should both be on the list.

LA Confidential needs to be higher but I guess it doesn't fit into the AV club pretentious auteur theory because Curtis Hanson never really made another great film.  It won every critics award in 1997.  It's certainly better than The Matrix, Seven, Naked, Paradise Lost and Close-Up.  Just absurd that it would be this…

I loved Stephanie's reviews at Salon but she too easily dismisses The Master here.  I thought it was  a masterpiece.
