digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 AFI?Oh, you weren't specific and I'm an *******. Here's the Wiki.It seems they updated the list in 2007 and Saving Private Ryan was added to the list. Link to post Share on other sites
bigkg 0 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 That list sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,768 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 That list sucks.AFI always does. I've never been even mildly impressed with any list they release. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 There are a lot of recent movies that I'd replace movies on that list with personally, but Avatar and all 3 LOTR movies should definitely be included in any Top 100. Link to post Share on other sites

LadyGrey 8 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 That list sucks. AFI always does. I've never been even mildly impressed with any list they release.The list really is pure shit. Who had the idea to knock off phenomenal films like The Third Man and add in commercial chickenfeed like Titanic and LOTR? Their other lists are also terrible. Schindler's List at #3 for most inspiring films? That film makes me so depressed everytime I watch it. Do they really think the accomplishment of Schindler saving a tiny proportion of Jews outweights the horrifying and devastating number that did perish in the Holocaust? Sure, Schindler's story can be considered inspiring, but the film Schindler's List certainly isn't , and it's not supposed to be. It's not an uplifting film. It is made clear that Schindler is no saint, and that at the end of the day we can't forget about the magnitude of the genocide that occurred. He says it himself - he could have done more, he could have saved more. The message isn't of hope. It's a despicable, harrowing tragedy. Inspirational? No sir. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 1996? There's probably 90 movies to replace. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yet you didn't name one.I can't be bothered with specifics. Then I'd have to actually look at the list and stuff. I just trusted the people who said it's a bad list, then thought about how many movies have come out since then.... then came to my number semi randomly. Link to post Share on other sites

JoeyJoJo 20 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It's the most recent movie to be included in the AFI top 100. What movie(s) made since 1996 do you think should now be included in a revised list?I went and reviewed the movies of the decade thread here to get my start.I feel like these two are the only ones that I say belong on a top 100 list (but I haven't seen the actual AFI list):No Country for Old MenInglorious BasterdsFor other people's research, here are some "name" films from 1997-1998:Good Will HuntingLA ConfidentialTitanicBoogie NightsCon AirSaving Private RyanThe Thin Red LineAnd then there's 1999...I wasn't kidding about 1999 btw.. check out this list..No order, except John malk number 11) Being John Malkovitch2)Fight club3) American beauty4) The matrix5) run lola run6) magnolia7) bringing out the dead8) 3 kings9) the sixth sense10) blair witch11) the summer of sam12) eyes wide shut13) red violin14) Cruel intentions ( i'm a sucker for this film)15) Dogma16) boys don't cry 17) Election18) Ghost dog19) Girl interrupted20) toy story 2(also green mile, the insider, the straight story, drop dead gorgeous and some others)I suppose I'd have to actually look at the AFI list to start making changes, but the consensus seems to be that the list sucks, so it would probably be a time-consuming project.And I hate time-consuming projects.

timwakefield 69 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Probably Fight Club, American Beauty, and Magnolia (all obviously from '99) should be on the 100 list. So should Adaptation. Link to post Share on other sites
