The movies in the 7's are more consistently appealing to me than the top 250. Some movies just become "great" so everyone gives them 10's or are more receptive to love them I think. There are some movies I love in the top 250 but also a lot of movies just get buoyed up from their "greatness." Just glancing at the top 10 I honestly didn't like Pulp Fiction at all and didn't feel the Godfathers were special. I almost always like a movie in the 7's that has a lot of votes.

> didn't feel the Godfathers were special

Read a few reviews of the Godfather. There is subtlety to the characters and a slower pace that modern day viewers may not appreciate as we aren't used to this--rather many of us have become accustomed to blunt hit you over the head plots and may likely miss much of what Godfather is about.

Regardless, your point stands. We all have our own tastes & preferences.
