AFI's 10 Top 10

[Jared Kaufman]

I am DVRing this right now but will come back once I'm done watching.

Anyone watch? Thoughts? Opinions? Discuss.

[Ailite]

I'm watching this right now. The fact The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly wasn't number one, and wasn't even ON the Best Western list sickens me. Everything else is pretty good.

[garggggh]

Channel? I'll just check the site later.

[Rawrr]

I watched their top 100 comedies once, and I also think they had a top 100.

[funkel]

Is Citizen Kane number one?

[Chris Fallon]

I'm gonna have to watch this. Comes on in a few minutes here.

[aminorthreat55]

AFI makes shitty lists, plus this concept is borderline idiotic (and this is coming from a member of the AFI).

Back to the Future made the top 10! How sweet. I think Blade Runner should have been higher though.

This made me laugh for some reason, not that it's not a good movie. Just lots of memories.

[Adeniz19]

i know why it wasnt on there but a top 10 western list without any leone is just nuts.

[Burning Star IV]

I love All Quiet on the Western Front.

[WakingTheMisery]

Too much Deniro

[Spicoli hey bud]

I'm watching this right now. The fact The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly wasn't number one, and wasn't even ON the Best Western list sickens me. Everything else is pretty good.
Um, have you seen The Searchers?

[Chris Fallon]

i know why it wasnt on there but a top 10 western list without any leone is just nuts.
Yeah, that surprised me quite a bit.

[radiofriendly]

the usual suspects!? i'm dissapointed...

[Ailite]

Um, have you seen The Searchers?
Yeah, but I prefer most of Leone's stuff on it. Its at least better than Unforgiven, which I love.

[Jessooker]

I love the Mystery top 10.

[Spicoli hey bud]

There should have been a Film Noir category too.

[_jonas]

Alot of this is just based on past critical hype. i mean honestly how could you enjoySnow White over The Lion King? & where was the Incredibles or the flm that debuted rotoscope animation,Waking Life?

And shouldn't Jerry Mcguire be in romantic comedies?
And the Wizard of OZ is SO OVERRATED!

[Jessooker]

I never liked Bambi.

[Ailite]

Not American, not included. Although that list was missing Rio Bravo.
I missed this, makes sense

[JHSace923]

So happy to see Groundhog Day on there. That really is just a great, great film. I highly suggest anyone who hasn't seen it/hasn't seen it in a while to go back and watch. Just a really good story, and also very funny.
