Don't these yahoo "bests" lists suck? Kubrick's Space Odyssey wasn't even ranked on the sci-fi list?

Question

fi list. At least half the flicks or songs being ranked are from the last ten years. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS. If kids think HALF the best movies and songs EVER made were done in the last ten years, the world has officially ended!

Answer 1

I know.

Answer 2

They do and it has!

2001 fan!

Answer 3

Yeah, but one can't list what one doesn't know. I don't know if YahooAnswers is the best forum for heralding great sci-fi films, but we can try. I'll be post questions asking folks to list their favorites, soon.

Here's my Top 15:
