The article isn't horrible, but it is off by a lot. It's not that the movies are totally wrong, but they're in the wrong order. Plus, there's too many added sinply "because they're known" like the most overrated film in history Citizen Kane.

...the most overrated film in history Citizen Kane.
What is it about that flick that sticks in your craw?

50 (Blair Witch) - Hell no, this sucked.
49 (A history of violence) - Whatever, this sucked.
48 (Batman Returns) - Maybe if you're a gay, comic-loving fanboy.

It just annoys me that it's proclaimed as this huge example of a perfect movie and it's as boring as boring can be.
As Peter Griffin says: "It's two boring, boobless hours."
I prefer good acting and good storytelling in my movies and don't need sex and violence to spice them up, but this movie doesn't age as well as people think. I believe Citizen Kane is an example of something people think they should like because it makes them seem smarter, but they can't ever explain why it's any good.
I just hate it.

For you less internet savvy folks, this is what we call "baiting". (For more examples, see any post by "biteme".)
