AFI's Top 100 Films

[Babette]

I saw this was going to be on and missed it. I love to watch the AFI show because it brings up so many emotions and memories as I watch all of the clips. I don't always agree with these lists, but I think many movies are chosen based on their cultural impact as much as (or more than) the quality of the film/story.

Agreed - anything with flying monkeys (except Wicked) should be banned from our society!

I don't get the hoopla over that one either. I think it is like Sixth Sense where everyone most people were shocked by the revelation at the end.

I would love to see that!

I will have to dissect the list later when I have more time. I have seen exactly 50% of the new list (that I recall), but 57% of the old list. I am sure I saw about 10 more as a child, and have no memory of the films. Many of them are on my Netflix list as "films I've heard they're great and want to see".
