AFI - 100 Years...100 Movies (2007)

really? — 1 year ago

I know this isn’t the fault of anyone on this website, but it has to be said- ‘Titanic’? Really? Better than ‘Dances with Wolves’? ‘Toy Story’ is better than ‘Rebel without a Cause’? Really AFI? And yet ‘The Best Years of Our Lives’ is still on here? This new list sucks hardcore.

I can understand...

I about fell off my chair when I saw Titanic was on the list!

So I’m choosing to see this as a puffier version of the original list. I think both lists have good and bad points to them…

While I agree that most of the movies are excellent, I don’t think that most of them should be on the Top 100 Of All Time list. I could think of AT LEAST 25 more that should have been on here.

When I finish the original (15 more to go), I’ll tackle this version. I agree, there are a lot of great films missing and some so-so efforts included. Puffier, indeed.

Sorry but, I think Titanic is better than the overrated Dances With Wolves. Toy Story is better and more revolutionary filmmaking than Rebel (considering Rebel inspired a lot of half-baked teen films and Toy Story reinvinted animation), and yes The Best Years of Our Lives deserves every bit to be on there. Frankly, I wouldn’t have even put Titanic or Toy Story on there. Perhaps Fantasia and something unconventional, like Halloween or Freaks in their places.
