The fact that Interstellar is viewed as superior to both 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien shows how powerful recency bias is

I’m writing this knowing it will be downvoted— as all dissenting opinions on this sub are. Interstellar is a great movie, but people on r/movies and on IMDb rate is as one of the 20 best films of all time, which is ridiculous.

If anyone here is willing to share how they believe it is more well made than Alien and more thought provoking than 2001, I’d love to hear why.
