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?

Show Girls

I preferred Striptease actually but Show Girls is definitely decent.

Well played.

Saving Private Ryan definitely deserves to be in the top 100.

Can I get a link to this list please?

There Will Be Blood.

Here.

AFI?

No Country
Royal Tennenbaums

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.

That list sucks.

AFI always does. I've never been even mildly impressed with any list they release.

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.

Fargo was removed from the 2007 list.

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.

1996? There's probably 90 movies to replace.

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.

You work for the government don't you?

lulz.

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):



For other people's research, here are some "name" films from 1997-1998:

Good Will Hunting
LA Confidential
Titanic
Boogie Nights
Con Air
Saving Private Ryan
The Thin Red Line

And then there's 1999...




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.

Lollygagger!

Probably Fight Club, American Beauty, and Magnolia (all obviously from '99) should be on the 100 list. So should Adaptation.
