It shows a lack of imagination. You see this and want to be surprised. Learn about some fantastic unknown Malaysian film that blows doors... I overuse a half learned Nietzsche quote from the beginnings of "The use and abuse of history..." - actually I think a requote of Goethe - along the lines of 'I hate that which merely instructs me without increasing my vitality...' Butchered I am sure but I think that is the gist. There is literally nothing new on this list. Again - I am not a film buff - but I have seen movies in the past 3 months that are better than many movies on this list. Glengarry Glen Ross comes to mind. Slate article is dead on about the omission of Ozu and Ackermann. What about documantaries like "Once were kings" or Errol Morris or for historical purposes, Leni Riefenstahl I see things like this as an indictment of a dangerous lack of imagination in liberal US. Its killing us.
