Update the list? — 46 weeks ago

AFI released a revised list, a 10th Anniversary Edition!

http://www.afi.com/

Should this list be altered or should a new one be created? There are quite a few additions (Buster Keaton’s “The General” all the way up to #18 after being previously ignored, for one) and changes.

I tried to get the list in the proper order, but it won’t let me do it. It keeps the list on two pages so I can’t do the numbering trick.

So if someone has some time, should look into it, because I don’t know about you guys, but its annoying that it isn’t in the proper order.

APOCALYPSE OZ — 2 years ago

A lot of people were offended by Apocalypse Oz becuase it thumbed its nose at the very idea of ‘classic’, yet somehow did so with affection for the films it mashed-up and bastardised. A modern classic…
