About the top 100 movies of all times

[woepriest]

Does anyone have that link of that list? It wasnt too long ago that they had it out. Cant even believe that Star Wars was top 13th, I mean that changed a whole generation and the world it should of been the top 10 in my opinion. Also where the heck was Indiana Jones. It was no where to be found.

Top 100 list:

There are a lot of those kinds of lists. Do you know the sauce?
Leon / The Professional should be on any of those lists, and Indiana Jones .

It's not the greatest movies of all time, it only includes American made movies.

theres a list on wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFI%27s_100_Years..._100_Movies_%2810th_Anniversar y_Edition%29

Why do you care what a bunch of out of touch old [s]Je[/s]geezers think?

[emptyflowers]

Its not a "bunch of old geezers"... they interviewed the top directors and producers in America today and based the list off their opinions... I mean, everyone's entitled to their own opinions about what movies are the best, but the list certainly isn't without merit.

[Mischief]

That may be true, but then again people get good movies confused with entertaining movies. And the thing about "good" movies is that because something is classified as Drama people automatically think that it's good. And if something is a comedy they wont think of it as highly. If that makes any sense...

Well just remember folks that anything is up for debate. Just make sure to have some fun with it. I saw the special hosted by Morgan Freeman (who is becoming the quinessential host for anything) and it was fine. I will admit many movies were foreign to me being before my time but still a good historical reflect at least.

[emptyflowers]

This is the same list I posted... I didn't recognize a lot of the movies either, but I definitely agree with their number one. Citizen Kane will always be the best without a doubt :)

[woepriest]

Yea thats the list I think. I dont think Citizen Kane should be top but it should be in the top 5. Also why is Sixth Sense at 89, that was a good movie but not that great.

[weena]

I honestly think it has to do with what movies had more impact on people. When the sixth sense came out, no one could shut up about it.

The only time I ever look at movie critics' reviews, is when there's a critic who shares the same taste as me... which takes some trial and error, but worth it. ahah.

Wow... Toy Story?...Damn.

[emptyflowers]

Is that a good or bad thing?

Personally, I think its wonderful.

[StealingJack]

I remember seeing that movie in theaters when I was around 8... I can't believe that's on the list, over any other movie that could be in it's place. I'm not complaining too much, it was an interesting movie but there are some better films.

[DannyLilithborne]

That's the problem. Directors and producers are not the best people to come to for opinions about that kind of thing, since they're personally invested in a lot of the film business. I would say the best people to go to are film critics, but the only ones who aren't full of crap are either dead or don't get listened to anyway.

[woepriest]

Toy Story was a great movie considering it was made in 94. The CG were amazing back then even though its starting to show its age. That movie was a classic, one of the best pixar films. I really enjoy that film when I was 9. Not bad that it made it to top 100.

[ha4pbl]

WOW! star wars only got to 13th? in the British top 100 countdown it was number 1. Whoever makes these lists really needs to watch more films.

[StealingJack]

'94 isn't that old...

[emptyflowers]

13 years is pretty old for a CG movie. Just compare it to Ratatouille in terms of animation. They've come a long way.
