Entertainment Weekly's 'New Classics'

They've decided, and I don't agree.

At all.

Once a reliable source for everything entertainment, I am starting to lose my respect for EW. I mean, I've looked over these lists and am very dissapionted at what they claim to be "the new classics."

NOTE: Below are the top 10's , to see full list click the link.

Yes, many of these movies have won Oscars, but some are just cult-faves. I know that is sometimes what makes a classic, but some of them are ridiculous. Here are the top 10 out of the 100 choices.

The New Classics: Movies

(Since 1983)

1. Pulp Fiction (1994)

2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03)

3. Titanic (1997)

4. Blue Velvet (1986)

5. Toy Story (1995) 6. Saving Private Ryan (1998)

7. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
8. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

9. Die Hard (1988)

10. Moulin Rouge (2001)

And their TV show choices also angered me. My issues: some were only on for one season; Lost at #8, when the writing's sucked since season 2; and The Hills being on the list angers me to no end!

The New Classics: TV

1. The Simpsons, Fox, 1989-present

2. The Sopranos, HBO (1999-2007)

6. Survivor, CBS (2000-present)

7. The Cosby Show, NBC (1984-92)

9. Friends, NBC (1994-2004)

10. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The WB (1997-2001); UPN (2001-03)

I'm not as super-educated in music as I am in the movie category, but this list is, too, a bit corrupt. I'm glad to see two U2 albums and Green Day's AI in the top 10, but Amy Winehouse's Back to Black- as much as I liked the album- is it a classic, no. Not to mention it's only produced one hit single. And Kanye's Dropout (first of all- I think he's overrated), but it too produced the monster single Goddigger, which he did have help with from Oscar winner Jamie Foxx.
