Of course, I have no idea what the editor specifically told contributors, or if specific titles were named as examples.

Aside from a couple specific voices there, I'd prefer to blame the canonization of a real good musical like Singin' in the Rain for the distaste/indifference.

"I'm not going to beat around the bushes with this: 'Jurassic Park' remains a modern marvel to me. In this cinematic age where substance subsides to style among the masses, Spielberg's blockbuster masterpiece seamlessly blended a rich and fantastic story with incredible special effects that continue to awe and inspire. I truly believe it deserves a spot amongst the top 10. That being said, I've never been that fond of 'Singin' in the Rain.' Though I'm not disputing its significance in cinema's history, I'd probably bump that one to make room for 'Jurassic Park,' especially since it's ranked tenth."

"Anyone who knows me could see this answer coming a mile away. I'd remove 'Singin' in the Rain,' on the grounds that I can rarely tolerate musicals. And I'd add director Darren Aronofsky's 'The Fountain,' my personal favorite movie of all time.

"I'm that awful human being that doesn't love Francis Ford Coppola's 'Godfather' trilogy in the same way that most do, so I'd remove the two-fer of 'The Godfather Parts I and II.' Much like 'The Rules of the Game' and 'Sunrise,' they're films that I appreciate more than I outright enjoy, but they don't give me the same sort of artistic appreciation that these other works do, so my apologies to Coppola (who won't likely be sending me any of his wine anytime soon), but his films is an offer I'd be able to refuse...sorry for the pun. As for what to replace it with, I have to go with my favorite film of all time: 'The Shawshank Redemption.' It's everything that you go to the movies for, and if it's not quite as historical a film, it more than makes up for it with quality. Perhaps not a highbrow enough pick for some, but it's the most honest choice that I can make."

Will Leitch, Deadspin:
"I would take out 'The Godfather Parts I and II' because that is cheating: You can't put two movies in one spot, even if you want to. WHAT ARE WE, SAVAGES? I would replace it with 'The Godfather.'"
Now this I like.
Still reeling from the idea of anybody's all-time favourite movie being The Fountain, let alone someone who writes about film for a living, albeit for HuffPo.
