Posted: 4/5/06 at 2:39amWho makes up the AFI - and why aren't they paying my cable bill? Or my therapist bill, for that matter.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

only 31, but some of the numerous times (gone with the wind and singing in the rain)
better yet how many of them were literature first that you READ?

Posted: 4/5/06 at 7:15amIt's hard to take a list seriously that claims Forrest Gump is one of the top 100 movies ever made.

45
Edit: There were about a dozen that I've only read the book.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Posted: 4/5/06 at 8:29amIt's 8:30 and I've only been up for 10 minutes or so (so I'm sure there are other oversights that I'd pick up on) but where's American Beauty?! Surely it could have squeaked in in the 90s somewhere!
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)

Posted: 4/5/06 at 8:47amWow 70!!! Some of those listed I just have no desire to see (Platoon, Pulp Fiction) I have seen most of the really olds ones because there was a movie theater that ran double features of old movies.

Posted: 4/5/06 at 10:41amI knew this would happen. I just counted the ones I HAVEN'T seen - there were only 8. (FYI - it's not my favorite kind of movie, but Platoon really is worth being on the list. It disturbs me greatly - yet I made sure I had the tape. Tom Berenger's performance is extraordinary.)

Posted: 4/5/06 at 11:11amI've actually seen all of them -- I know - I'm old -- but there's a few on there that I haven't seen in a decade or more.

I have seen 81.
I cannot believe some of the ones that I have not seen as they are absolute classics.
I am netflixing them now.

I've seen 80 of them.
Most of the films that I haven't seen are ones that I've avoided.

Posted: 4/5/06 at 2:17pm54... many of them not in years and years. (I saw Close Encounters when it was first released, and not since.)

Posted: 4/5/06 at 2:30pm36. There was a time when I was trying to get caught up on films that I "should" have seen, because they were such classics, etc. I obviously didn't get very far.
#21how many of afi's top 100 have you seen?
Posted: 4/5/06 at 2:31pmI've seen all of them (yes, even the ones that aren't really classics) and about 200-400 more true classics that should be on the list. This list is heinous.
