Top 250? Are you serious? This movie is average at best.
It's current 6.1 rating is a bit high IMHO.

it's a nice movie, but it wouldn't deserve more than it gets
it's pretty cheesy and predictable. something definitely goes wrong narratively towards the end - the film seems to jump unnaturally to its set up. Being Zeffirelli, however, it looks real nice.
do do do de da da da

34 films out of 250??? over 100 years? That's about trends.too large a percentage

Have you actually looked at the list? http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
There's only 34 films released from 2005 onwards in that list. It's nothing to do with trends.

I'll take this over the Dark Knight any time. It's sad how the Top 250 works, I've all but given up on it. It's just about trends.

I just watched this and I'm one for tearjerkers like Beaches et al and although I enjoyed this greatly, there are several sections that drag and fall flat for me.
Sure there are great scenes like in the jail, the horse race and of course the finale but there's a little too much dragging to make this a bona fide classic.
Plus as someone else said, it's a remake and clung heavily to the entrails of Rocky.
There's plenty of unworthy films in the top 250 and you have to remember the people who are rating Dark Knight 10/10 are unlikely to seek this out.
Great film, but never a top 250.

I just watched it, and I have to say its quite average, that's probably the reason. Sure the final scene is extremely good, but the rest of the movie is a quite mediocre.
