The bottom vote cut off varies from time to time. Its adjusted regularly. I remember it being 6000 about 1.5 years ago. Now its 25000. So maybe it made an appearance when they reduced the limit.
Greatest Movie of All Time?

In a top 10 of war films, I wouldn't place AN, excess doesn't equate to much for me, plus Brando's lines, I thought, were quite ridiculous. I'd much rather watch the documentary.
Though Apocalypse Now is still among my top 2 favorite war movies.

In a way, i dont blame a website for having a bad list, especially when the list is governed by the people. Its just that people dont like to go out of their comfort zone to watch a movie. Like we had a talk about B&W the other day, subtitles and what not. Also we are a bit lavish to dish out 8's and 9's for good films!
If more people saw these movies, it would be a whole different list. Many of the movies which i see on the list, especially from 140 to 250, have no business to be near that list.

It's impossible for someone else to make a top 250 film lists that I can agree on.

1- Roger Ebert
2- The critics who voted for the Sign and Sound poll.
3- I have the impression that experienced film buffs generally appear to prefer Apocalypse Now while less experienced film watchers prefer The Godfather.
Though I imagine that a fan of gangster movies would prefer The Godfather while a fan of war films would prefer Apocalypse Now.

I'd say I'm more a gangster film fan than a war film fan. I love a good crime drama. I'd definitely rewatch AN before TG. I'd sooner rewatch Godfather 2 than Godfather, even. And I'd sooner rewatch Once Upon a Time In America than all three.

Both Apocalypse Now and The Godfather are great films which are are classics in their genre yet AN sometimes has these slips like Brando hiding in shadows and overall being,as someone said,over the top.Because of this,the ending is quite overbuilt during the movie.In the Redux version there's that extra scene with a family living in the jungle which in basically useless.
Godfather,in my view,has no mistakes.It's so consistent,every detail matters and there are no extra scenes,nothing is useless,acting is flawless.Maybe it's the perfection that scares the viewers.

Well Godfather first watch was a classic to me. Still is.
But after reading the novel and watching the movie. Its value has dropped for me!

In my humble opinion... this needs to be in the conversation.

Taxi Driver is a viable candidate for certain. And since we're debating Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, I've always favored the latter myself. But then again, I generally prefer gangster movies to war movies; that being said, AN is probably my favorite of its genre.
