I've seen portions of some of these, but most of them I haven't even heard of... I'm not too embarassed though, any 'greatest movie' list that has Rocky but not Jurassic Park is bogus to me.

Title: Re: AFI 100
Post by: Scott on June 23, 2004, 11:27 AM

I should add that these greatest 100 lists are sent out to a group of voters who are given a list of over 400 movies...

Quote

AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies is an 18-month celebration that began last November when AFI invited more than 1,500 leaders from across the American film community - screenwriters, directors, actors, producers, cinematographers, editors, executives, film historians and critics, among them - to choose from a list of 400 nominated films compiled by AFI and select the 100 greatest American movies. The nominated films were all made in the first 100 years of American cinema (1896-1996). Movies produced after 1996 were not included.

So not too many.  It has been a considerable amount of time since I watched most of those movies.  I used to live with a roommate that was into old films, so that was a help, plus my father-in-law loved old westerns.  

ET I've seen parts of, but I'm boycotting watching the movie, because we can.  We own the DVD though.  

Schindler's list just hasn't been around when I was in the mood.  Not at all a knock on the movie, I just haven't felt the need to watch it yet.

out of that top 100 list, these are the only ones i haven't seen yet:

38.DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944)
63.STAGECOACH (1939)
76.CITY LIGHTS (1931)
81.MODERN TIMES (1936)
86.MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1935)

and, aside from these 5 and another small handfull from that list (maybe 20, maybe a little more) i actually own all of those movies on dvd  :o

i took some film courses in college a while back, and had to watch a lot of "classic" movies. of course, i've probably seen thousands of films that would never, ever make this list  ;D

All lists are inevitably flawed.  Why do you suggest this one is?  Particularly given you've not seen over half of the movies listed do you think your statement is reasonable? 

Title: Re: AFI 100
Post by: Scott on August 22, 2005, 02:37 PM

I don't know about that...

AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies is an 18-month celebration that began last November when AFI invited more than 1,500 leaders from across the American film community - screenwriters, directors, actors, producers, cinematographers, editors, executives, film historians and critics, among them - to choose from a list of 400 nominated films compiled by AFI and select the 100 greatest American movies. The nominated films were all made in the first 100 years of American cinema (1896-1996). Movies produced after 1996 were not included.

"Annie Hall" at 31, above "Rebel Without a Cause"? Not to mention no "East of Eden", "Schindler's List" in the Top 10 infront of "Ben Hur", with "A Streetcar Named Desire"? "Fargo" even being on the list, while the greatest slapstick film of all time, "Duck Soup", relegated to the bottom 15?

Lists like these hold about as much value as Oscars, which to me are worthless, because it's all politics and favoritism. As for my statement, it's an opinion of course, but I'm definately not alone.

Dare I say that I actually agree with you?  :)  I don't recall ever seeing a list like this that I didn't find to be a complete crock of ****, whether it be movies, music, or otherwise, and whether it be a "best of" or "worst of" list.  The entities that concoct lists like these will praise the movies that are popular to praise and bash the movies that are popular to bash.  Personally, I find them all useless and find it much more reliable to formulate my own opinions than to listen to these nitwits.

As far as the subject matter (movies), I'm the farthest thing from an expert so I couldn't even say how "accurate" I think this list is.  I've only seen 17 of them.   :-[
