AFI Lists
AFI released a summary of top ten lists. What do you think? Have you seen them all?

I've seen them all except Little Caesar.
I was disappointed that more Pixar films were not listed. |
Wow, I've seen all but a few of those.
I'm as happy they picked Fellowship of the Ring for Fantasy films as I am disgusted they chose The Lion King for Animated films. I've seen all 20 in those categories. I've seen all but two of the Ganster films, never having seen either version of Scarface. Considering they're not my favorite genres, I'm surprised to have missed only two of the Westerns (McCabe & Mrs. Miller -and- Cat Ballou), and one of the Sports films (Pride of the Yankees). Some of those "science fiction" choices are questionable (Um, Back to the Future is a comedy, and huh, Terminator 2 over Terminator???). But I've seen all of them. Ditto, all of the Courtroom Dramas, all of the Romantic Comedies, all of the Mysteries, and all of the Epics. Hmmm, I feel pretty cinemeducated. |
I saw the Animation part of the show (it was the first genre). The list is such a joke that I decided it was best I not keep watching. Snow White is brilliant for the genre it created but it is not even in the top 10 animated films over the last 70 years.
Though Disney must have enjoyed the handjob. And while I don't necessarily disagree with most of the selections, it is a bit odd that youngest #1 is 28 years old. The second youngest is 36 years old. Has there really only been one top 10 science fiction film in the last 23 years? Three out of the 10 genres reached their pinnacle in the 1930s apparently. |
Most of these lists seem pretty accurate to me but I can't help but nitpick on the following.
Snow White, the first animated film, is also the best ever made? Hmm. Somehow I find that hard to swallow. It is possibly worthy of the list, but the best? Tom Hanks' Big in 10th for Fantasy? I love that movie, but, really? How about the original Superman film? Do they count that as Sci-Fi? Hell, I'd put in The Neverending Story or even Willow... I love that Harold and Maude made the romantic comedy list. :) Ok, no more excuses, we need to watch more movies. |

Sorry, don't agree. But T2 is a kick-ass movie.
Perhaps the list is not of the "best," but of the films with the most impact. In which case, inclusions like Snow White, Lion King and Titanic make perfect sense. |
I loved T2. The first Terminator... not so much.
I can't believe Toy Story is so high up on the list and Incredibles is not up there at all. Yuk. |
I don't know how they couldn't include "Labyrinth". :eek:
|
I am so tired of lists. So, let me introduce ...
