Although I haven't had a chance to read through it yet, this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly is full of their "100 Greatest" lists (Movies, TV Shows, Albums, Books). I was looking through the movie "rankings" and was a little surprised at how far Star Wars had fallen in the eyes of the media. Of course, this is just one particular list, and many others could be (and are) completely different. But the only SW mention is the Empire Strikes Back, ranking in at number 53. Other movies of note for our crowd:
Toy Story (22)
LOTR: Return of the King (43)
E.T. (62)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (78)
Blade Runner (81)
The Dark Knight (88)
It has been awhile since I looked through it, but I thought the original Star Wars ranked in the top 10 of AFI's Top 100, or at least near there. Again, there are so many lists like this, so it doesn't necessarily matter in the grand scheme, just a little surprising that SW was so far down the list of all time (considering some that were listed before it too). Haven't looked at the other lists yet.
