Which films in the IMDB top 250 are ranked too high/low?

I don't really put too much stock into the IMDB top 250, but -

Ranked too high:
- I'm stunned as to how Slumdog Millionaire made the top 250 (it's 241st). I've been junior school drama projects which I enjoyed more than that!
- Controversial, but I'd knock Back to the Future down a bit. It's in 48th place, above films like The Dark Knight Rises, The Prestige... even Return of the Jedi. It's a cool film, a family classic - but I wouldn't rank it higher than those films.


Ranked too low:
- I'm disappointed to see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 99th place. It's my favourite Indiana Jones film and I feel it's by far the best of the series, but Raiders of the Lost Ark is 30th.
- I'm also disappointed to see Pan's Labyrinth in 119th. Probably my favourite foreign film.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is rated much too low. On a slightly more serious note Inglourious Basterds was great and definitely should be ranked higher than 100, Toy Story should be higher than 110 and No Country For Old Men is WAY too low at 167. The one that sticks out to me as too high is Inception at #13. It's a good movie but in no way one of the top 13 movies ever. The Dark Knight at #4 also seems really high for me.
