The
AFI recently came out with
their list.
This is my list.
Its quite a task to list your top 100. The first 60 roll off easily. The last 20 are difficult because you are deciding if a movie will make the cut. After 100, if I see another movie that I want in this list - then something has to come out.
Watch for comments as I edit this list as I see more movies.
I encourage all movie lovers to develop their own list. It's a great way to look at film more critically.

Great idea, Glenn.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't see Dr Strangelove on the list... oversight?
RD
Dr Strangelove needs to go in this list. I'm taking out #38 Father of the Bride. Funny Steve Martin film but could I leave it in and justify not having Dr Strangelove in? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteLots of recent films! There are quite a few on your list that I have never seen. I can see a trip to the video store in my future. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSaw Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada - and it blew me away. I removed Apollo to make room for it.
ReplyDeleteI'll do a new post on the movie.
Dilemma...
ReplyDeleteI need to get Station Agent in this list. Possible spots are The Great Escape or maybe Fight Club.
This is hard to do. Maybe I should go with my top 200...
Glenn
Added Station Agent, removed Rainman
ReplyDeleteJust saw Pan's Labyrinth and it belongs in here. Possible removal candidates:
ReplyDeleteThe Truman Show
Something About Mary
Removed Something About Mary and added Pan's Labyrinth.
