Obviously lots to disagree or agree with. Citizen Kane always gets much love but it's never been my favourite. Heck, it's not even my favourite Welles' movie, that honor goes to the amazing Touch of Evil. I can' even think what I'd name as my favourite American offering, probably Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Stangelove or.... there's too many to chose from.

It's nice to see a few faves make there way onto the list for the first time, Blade Runner, Do The Right Thing, 12 Angry Men, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. They giveth, they taketh away; I'm not sure which films fell off of the list but I did notice another favourite Fargo is no longer there.
 
My favorites that didnt' make the list;

Flipper
Interview with the Vampire
Animal House
Pink Floyd The Wall

Lesser favs,

Tender Mercies
Night Shift
Dr. Detroit
Problem Child

I'm surprised Lord of the Rings didn't make it.

Yeah, what's with the ongoing love for Titanic? :suspect: It's an okay flick (I guess), but certainly not worthy of top 100 status IMO.

Fellowship of the Ring is one of the new additions (ranked #50).

Animal House certainly belongs on the list.
 
What, no Bride of Frankenstein?
I'd like to see them rank the worst flicks if all time and compare choices to my own (which would definitely include Ghost Rider - which I just watched last night ,sadly)

i dont know. i was bored to tears until the last 30 minutes when i saw it.
 
How'd Toy Story go from being a popular top 5 pick all the way down to 99? That's silly.

No City of God? No Crash? Those movies are better than most on that list. Clockwork Orange is too low as well as Shawshank. Just a piss poor list in general.

City of God is a Brazillian flick, this is the top 100 American films (or else we'd be seeing Seven Samurai, Battleship Potemkin, 8 1/2, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly etc on the list).

Crash is an interesting omission. It's a polarizing film, either you love it or hate... apparently enough hate it at AFI to keep it off of the list.

This is Toy Story's first appearance in the AFI top 100.

The best thing about these lists is the discussion that surrounds them. Other than that they are of course completely subjective and of no real value.
 
Wow, after studying the list I'm surprised that I've seen all but twelve...

Red - unseen
Blue - owned
