It is in AFI's top 100. I downloaded there list and checked off all the ones I have already seen and am now trying to work through all of them. There are a few I dont look forward to, A few I have seen and wondered why they were on the list at all.
I thought, though, that the AFI list was fairly good. At least I recall seeing the list (when it was released some years ago) and I too looked through it and I think I tried watching some of the movies there that I might not otherwise see. There were movies such as Bonnie & Clyde and some others that I saw. I can't remember which ones, though.
They just updated the list (tenth anniverary) a few months ago. There were 18 new movies that wernt on the list the first time around. A few Charlie Chaplin movies were added. and of course a few that had come out since the last list. They also have a list of the 400 hundred movies that were considered. Have any of you ever seen a movie called 'A Face in the Crowd' with Andy Griffith? An absolutly brilliant movie that should have made the list.
