AFI tell us the 100 greatest movies of all time
The American Film Institute have celebrated 100 years of their existence by revealing their picks for the 100 greatest movies of all time. I've posted the Top 20 and linked them to IMDB (the rest you will have to copy and paste yourself you lazy bastards!!)...
Click here to see the full list over at Cinema Blend. It's an absolute crime to myself that I still haven't seen Casablanca isn't it? Love that Raging Bull is so high up and of course The Godfather and Citizen Kane are great picks for numbers 1 and 2, if rather predictable. Schlinder's List number 8? I mean it's a god damn spectacular movie but there's no way in the world you can convince me it should be that high. By my reckoning The Godfather Part II at number 38 is the only sequel on the list. Some controversial decisions from where I sit... 89. The Sixth Sense - I like M. Night's movie and yes it's great but it's not one of the 100 greatest movies of all time. 83. Titanic - I love Titanic, but I can imagine this angering many people. 94. Pulp Fiction - Quentin Tarantino's only entry is way back at 94? Lower than The Sixth Sense? That's a joke!20. Its A Wonderful Life (1946) 19. On the Waterfront (1954) 18. The General (1927) 17. The Graduate (1967) 16. Sunset Blvd (1950) 15. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 14. Psycho (1960) 13. Star Wars (1977) 12. The Searchers (1956) 11. City Lights (1931) 10. Wizard of Oz (1939) 9. Vertigo (1958) 8. Schindlers List (1993) 7. Lawrence of Arabia (1962) 6. Gone with the Wind (1939) 5. Singing in the Rain (1952) 4. Raging Bull (1980) 3. Casablanca (1942) 2. The Godfather (1972) 1. Citizen Kane (1941)
Some movies that are missing from the list that really should be included... are TOUCH OF EVIL, ALIEN, THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE and any more?
