    The Internet is awash in listicles like this that contain no interesting thoughts, just blather surrounding a number of movie titles or books or whatever. Is there any way to know for sure whether this was written by an actual living breathing human airhead or did it come from some AI like
    ChatGPT?

    What is the list based on? Ticket sales or what?

    Or some juvenile's delusion?

    Plus the lists are almost always heavily American biased. They are also
    usually a pile of boriung drivel movies / TV shows / books that are
    loved by arty-farty critics rather than real people.

    Mostly they are click-bait so the website owner can get paid for the advertising and Google spying.

    Yes it does, although it goes directly to the first film on the
    reverse-order list, so is at the bottom of the article. Just scroll up
    to the top of that page to read the full list, or take the # and
    everything after it off the link, or use this one: <https://movieweb.com/roman-empire-best-movies>
