While Shawnshank Redemption is pretty awesome flick, I don't think it deserves the #1 spot. Looking at that list, there's quite a few movies that makes me wonder just why they are there.

Das Boot is tied for eight in the rankings at a rating of 8.4.

I'm curious-How do they rank the movies that have the same ratings? Obviously not by number of votes.

Dowly-your little signature really messed with my head.

The voters were all IMDB members, probably younger and also probably limited to their own experiences. In other words, it all depends on who you ask.
