Challenges Empire’s ranking of Jaws as the greatest film ever made, arguing that the list favours mainstream, male‑dominated Hollywood classics and lacks diversity, surprise and global representation. Highlights alternative candidates such as Tokyo Story, Some Like It Hot, Jeanne Dielman and The Wicker Man, stressing that lists should provoke debate rather than claim definitive authority. Advocates for film lists that broaden cinematic horizons instead of narrowing them.
