Good point. At this mark, maybe a film is not on your radar for your top 20, or even your personal top 40, but we're talking about 100. Out of 17 of us, these are the films most agreed upon by the group as a whole. There's going to be an awful lot of films with only 1 vote, with some 60 slots to fill.
Like realdealblues, I personally don't see Once Upon a Time in the West as top 100, but while the story didn't strike me, I can appreciate the film's other qualities -- As one of our members (whom I hope is feeling better soon) said earlier in this thread, "Can't we appreciate a film for it's artistry?". Plus, I understand I'm in the minority with Once Upon a Time's appreciation; but that's OK, people are different, and we're using the benefit of the group.
Personally, The Matrix is decidedly in my top 20 for sci-fi story depth & passion, & technical mastery in cinematography, sound, set, costume, FX, martial arts, etc.
