Naturally with such a list, people will quibble over the meaning of the word 'important'. It seems in this instance that the compiler intends for it to be equated in the first instance with 'successful in popularising', then 'influence upon' and then assorted others. Perhaps 'worked hard to justify to cynics' should be a category...
The first priority of the compiler may help with explaining PJ; the website is also movie-based in any case.
What might be more interesting, although perhaps not suited for this forum until complete, is our own such list. Talent borrows, genius steals.
