Sad — 18 weeks ago

No James Dean? NO JAMES DEAN??! Seriously, what’s up with that? Last time, he had two movies on the list (Rebel Without a Cause and Giant) and another nominated (East of Eden, his best film). This time, the two that were on fell off, and East of Eden wasn’t even nominated. Just disgraceful.

Amadeus should not have been taken off.

Just a few thoughts. 1)A Night at the Opera has one famous scene…one. Hardly worth including even though I love the Marx Brothers. 2)Raging Bull is in no way worthy of a top five spot. 3)James Dean was completely removed from the list. Those were good movies people! 4)If Casablanca drops any further, AFI will lose all credibility with me. 5) It might just be me, but I don’t think Sophie’s Choice is very good. I can live with everything else, except I agree the exclusion of The Third Man is raising a few eyebrows. Now, all we have to do is to convince the American Film Institute to stop being so American and create an all-encompassing list of cinema worldwide.

I’m glad they brought in Buster Keaton this time around, as well as another Marx Brothers.

Really lamenting the loss of The Third Man, though

Thoughts on the new list — 2 years ago

Slightly better than the first one, I think, though still lacking in independant film and weak on silent films. I like the addition of the General, Sunrise, Intolerance, Do the Right Thing and Blade Runner. However, adding Titanic, LOTR and Toy Story is insulting.
