AFI's Top 100 Films - Page 2

It's weird seeing ET higher on the list than some movies that are way way better. I liked Close Encounters better...

And I know Toy Story is on the list because of its technical merits but it wasn't that great of a movie.

I'd also like to see All About Eve higher than that. It's a fabulous fim.

Shawshank is on the list.

Citizen Kane is an awesome film. It deserves to be #1.

I liked Blade Runner, not to mention I liked it far better in the directors cut, but then, the only taste I have is in my mouth.

(ok, I'll admit it. I always wanted a Sean Young bot)

I really want to like Bladerunner. I love Ford, I love the screenplay, I love the short story it came from, but every time I watch it I fall asleep. And I don't do that in movies, I really don't. (It seems rude to me.)
I think it's the score and how dark it is and maybe Ford's monotone voice...

I haven't seen enough of them to bother doing a point-by-point a la Alex, but of the ones I have seen, I disagree quite a bit with Alex.

That's a shame. It's an historic film by one of the greatest directors in movie history. The huge Babylon set from the movie inspired the design of the Hollywood & Highland Center.

Blazing Saddles isn't on that list, so that list sucks.

My mother is applauding you.

(I on the other hand am shaking my head at the both of you)

The one movie I would move up about 60 or so places is The Apartment. I think Citizen Kane and Star Wars belong where they are because of inventiveness and impact, not because of entertainment value. I love It's a Wonderful Life.

Why is Titanic on the list? Seriously. Why?

And I hated Bladerunner.

Probably because it's the highest grossing movie of all time.
