TheBilcourt: AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies 10th Anniversary List

AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies 10th Anniversary List

AFI released their 100 Years...100 Movies 10th Anniversary list.(if you don't want to register for the nifty clickable pdf, then I posted the list below for you.) Everyone that knows me understands how much I love movies. It's kind of disheartening that I have only seen 36 of these movies. I know that may come as a shock to those that know me. I really need to start Netflix'ing the other 64 movies. What makes this even worse? I own 4 of the movies I haven't seen. I've just never bothered watching them. I got them on sale at Best Buy and put them on the self when I got home.

Here's the 2007 list. The same list was compiled in 2007, but now they have made adjustments after a decade of new movies. What I thought was interesting about this process was the fact that only 4 movies were from the last decade. They're we're 23 new additions in all to the list. I guess 10 years makes a difference in how people feel about even older movies.
