I thought that Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now were rated far too low on the original list, and now they’ve dropped even more. Both should have made top 10 in my opinion.

I also question the validity of this list if a movie can rise fifty places or completely fall off the list in ten years. So much for “Best of All Time.”

Hey, “Back to the Future” is probably more deserving than “Toy Story,” especially because of its airtight screenplay.

It would be nice to see a list where only sub-30 year old AFI members (if there are any) get to vote, considering most of that age range probably hasn’t even heard of 2/3 of the movies on the list.

where’s blue velvet or blood simple….loved fargo, but that’s a far better film…many i understand, and honestly as much as i’d love to see eternal sunshine there, it’s a little early for it’s contributions…hello? the usual supects, where are you? the ‘twist’ ending that made m night started here…pulp yes, but i’d actually argue that reservoir dogs had more of an impact…and whoever said little miss sunshine and american beauty deserves to sit down and watch some of the academy’s other best picture nods that are now nothing more than a laughing stock
some argue that A.B. is the least derserving best picture win in the last 25, i agreee…

Cece, my favorite movie of all time is “Eve’s Bayou,” with an all-black ensemble. Name any aspect of movie making, this one accomplishes all of them better than almost any film of the last decade. Ebert called it the best film of 1998. Kasi Lemmons hasn’t even TRIED to top it since. But, no AFI recognition.
When AFI’s prior list came out I remember reading in EW a list of movies one of the writers felt had been snubbed. “Back to the Future” was one of them. Go ahead, laugh. Eviscerate me. But I tihnk it would be perfect in the #100 spot.

Where are the black films. First they didn’t have any. Now, the only one they have is Do the Right Thing? While that is a great movie and I’m glad it’s on there, what about Malcom X or The Color Purple? These are two movies that remain on my top 10 list and they need to be on the AFI 100. Maybe in another 10 years, they’ll have more than one black film. Maybe they’ll have two.
