This is the highest rated movie on IMDb?

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2016)

Why? This is why we can't have nice things and why IMDb ratings are a joke. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are better movies. 12 Angry Men is my favorite movie and it is a much better movie. The Third Man is better. Citizen Kane is better. Fight Club is a better movie. Judgment at Nuremberg is a better film. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is better. Seven Samurai is a better movie and it is in Japanese. Das Boot is better. It is in German. M is better--and it is in German. Goodfellas is better. Platoon is a better movie. Touch of Evil is a better film. Spotlight is better. There Will Be Blood is better. Chinatown is better. Ran is a better movie. It is in Japanese. All About Eve is better. Up is better. To Kill a Mockingbird is better. Amélie is a better film--and it is in French. I could easily name two score other movies that are better than the highly overrated "The Shawshank Redemption."
Pathetic.
