Mazel Tov, 'WALL-E'
Though it's been out for less than a week, WALL-E, the robot flick that's apparently taking America by electrical storm (Saudi Arabia's never heard of it), has already jumped ahead of Schindler's List and Citizen Kane on the Internet Movie Database's list of the top 250 films of all time. That people are relating more to the plight of a cartoon machine than that of millions and millions of human beings destroyed by war certainly speaks to something, but we're not about to broach that thing here. Now, everyone bow down to your new robot masters!

I took my daughter to see WALL-E yesterday. It was cute, sweet and funny, but no where near the top of my list of all time favourite movies. But then, sometimes when people are choosing movies such as Citizen Cane and Schindler's List, they are just doing so because they believe it makes them sound more intelligent and well-informed. Neither one of these movies are at the top of Triple B's list either.
When oh when will Short Circuit supplant The Godfather?
bbb, but it's beating Empire…Screw that. It's war!
I think the message of WALL-E is what's making it get on that list. If you're open to it, you'll understand that it's a story about connection…and about taking care of life…I could just be rambling, or Disney could've just put out a socially relevant cartoon…
WALL-E actually fit a lot of social commentary in a kid's story. I don't think it's one of the greatest films of all time, but I commend the makers of the film for making such a touching children's movie. It's a lot easier to make a movie about the Holocaust touching and tragic.
When the Simpson's movie first came out, people were giving it ratings that made it in the top 5 or 10 or something. Wall-e will exit the list soon enough.
That's true, Luz. And The Simpsons movie was not even good. Plus, the number of votes given to Wall-E is not comparable to the copious amount of high votes given to the other films that made the list.
