Its already happened at least once this summer Wall-E shot up to 9 and its now just barely out of the top 25. This argument might only be valid in the case of Dark Knight, but have you seen it? I am seriously tempted to name it my favorite movie of all time and quite possibly the best I've ever seen. I'm sure that time will tell, but the possibility exists that a movie's ability to incite such a furor could be the indication of it actually being worthy of the number 1 spot. Put another way: If Godfather 1 is so fantastic, how come none of its fans systematically attacked other movies? This isn’t exactly a new phenomenon though.
