Ooo, nice 
Genuinely surprised to see that Blade Runner didn't make the cut though. Figured that was a shoe-in. My #2 didn't make the cut either  , so I'm assuming you got a good amount of lists in.
But yeah, great job BEA

Blade Runner and "your #2" both made the top 250, which will be unveiled via an IMDb list I'm assembling now.
And yes, about 30 lists

Pretty standard Internet movie viewer list with some weird contemporary picks looking like little kids in big suits towards the top there and some pretty interesting picks, mainly at the bottom, that really would not share this list with the stuff at the top in most other contexts, so that's cool. High Fidelity was of course a shoe-in on a music forum (maybe together we can outgrow the melancholic depressive representation of our obsessive hobby and turn instead to the lighter, incredibly endearing side of it represented by School of Rock some day  ). Not really surprised to see a lot of my picks not get into the Top 100, but appalled at how high Her got. Like, the fifteenth best movie ever? A film that came out less than a year ago as a petulant response of a spurned lover to Coppola's Lost in Translation and featured some of the most agonizingly contrived, androcentric "drama" to splash across the silver screen since Garden State? Very, very disappointed by that pick. Good to see Do the Right Thing have as strong of a showing as it did, and the #1 was the only plausible candidate for the position that ranked in a similar echelon on my own list. Kind of surprised that In the Mood for Love was the kar-Wai pick over Chungking Express, but I can't complain with either, and Japanese cinema had a decent enough showing on the list, which is nice to see. I'm surprised to see Godard and Kurosawa's highest ranking so low, but I imagine the votes for their films got a lot more split due to their variety of phases and great showings in each phase, compared to directors like Tarantino with much smaller filmographies and much more unanimously upheld masterpieces.

Very true, especially seeing as Godard and Kurosawa are represented heavily throughout the list, just at much lower rankings
(in the 250 list shared in the OP, Godard has four films and Kurosawa has six)

With 16 of my picks in the top 100, can't complain. Surprised at Amélie getting such a position though. Would be very different if it were a French-only voters poll 
Good job on The Searchers being there. Surprised to see Kurosawa Akira, and not Mizoguchi.

Seems like In the Mood For Love has become the go-to Kar-Wai film. I personally prefer Chungking Express and had it on my list.
Your criticism of Her is pretty harsh. Comparing it with Garden State? That's way too far. Maybe it's because I've only seen it once, but not quite following your "androcentric" critique. Spike Jonze has directed some of the most creative films of the last 20 years (especially Being John Malkovich and Adaptation), and while I don't think Her is quite as amazing as those two, I found it to be a rather wonderful social commentary on modern technology and social incapabilities.

Did stuff that only got 1 vote not get included in the list? Or damn, even at #250 we still have things with over 100 points?

The previous list collection was better; the new system warped it, I wager.
