The American Film Institute has released their new list of 100 greatest American movie. Citizen Kane is still no.1. You can check out the list from my least favorite website.
I'm sure we all have our own opinion. And I'm sure Joe would think it is stupid for them to drop Amadeus from the list. City Lights, which Rory picked for movie night, is no.11. Other past movie night picks on the list include High Noon (no.27) and Sunrise (no.82).
Other "great" picks on the list include Titanic, Toy Story, ET, Tootsie, Saving Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense and Lord of The Rings. No disrespect to these movies, but top 100 American film of all time? come on.
I don't see any cassavetes' or documentaries on the list.

That list is a total fucking joke.
If the original list was made in 1998, how did the Searchers go up 84 spots? It was made in 1956. Surely it hasn't changed much over the last nine years, and I don't see how it has become any more significant.
Most of the "new additions" were made between 1930 and 1970. Why weren't they on the 1998 list? So fucking stupid.
