A lot has to do with it being rewatched and rediscovered like someone else here said. I think it was restored since 2012 and it is now a lot easier to watch online than it was 10 years ago. Another factor that I think contributed greatly is the fact that people wanted to have diverse ballots (I don’t necessarily mean diverse as in from different countries, gender, and race, but more like I think most people wouldn’t like to have six Hitchcock films for example, even if they love them, because they would be using over half of their votes in basically the same thing when they can spread it among the various things they think are important to represent in a greatest films list, to some it would be putting a film from each of the greatest directors, the best film from each genre, their favorite film from their country, and to some represent women filmmakers who are still incredibly underrepresented when we discuss film history as a whole).

Besides, if you remove the feminist themes (which I don’t know why you would since it’s an integral part of the film, but still). It is still an incredible achievement and an amazing movie that is worthy of being considered number one.

Ooh I wish I could see contractor stats too, I'd have to imagine those numbers have been increasing over the years. I was a federal contractor at the same agency for about seven years and there were other contractors who had been there for 20+.... really makes you wonder why those aren't permanent government positions.

maine is just green.

I moved to a small town of 700 in the 80s. middle of the woods.

one of the chores was to mow the cemetery.. mostly school age workers.

I found a medal of honor union guy. I just moved away 2 years ago.. a random 30 years, checking on the cemetery.

I had assumed maine was so far north, the way news travelled would have left it like a north midwest state.. but no. It still gathered men.

The data is from Yelp not OP. BBQ not American is weird to me as well. Not sure what your clarification about Chinese is regarding, they are sorted differently and grouped geographically as east Asian just like French and Italian are European. Same with Brazilian
