Oh man, so AFI finally redid their 100 movies list! I haven't looked at it yet, but I've been on a quest to see them all. Right now I'm at 82 (see the old list here).

I had a long post here ranting about movies I like being dropped numerous spots to make way for inferior movies, but things like that aren't ever good. Sure, American Beauty was snubbed and movies like Forrest Gump, which shouldn't be anywhere near that list, remain, but what can you do? Fargo being kicked is very, very sad.

I like the first list a lot better. Oh well, time to tally.

80. So I lose 2 movies. Still, what a terrible new list. Ten years from now until they fix it...

Oh, you can check the full list on the AFI site but you have to log in, so do it here.

And courtesy of some people at AwardsDaily, here's a couple lists:

Glad they joined: Shawshank Redemption, 12 Angry Men ... and that's it.

I'll have to just make my own damn list.

Edit: And as one last note, why is LotR: Fellowship on there, and not LotR: Return of the King? The third was a much better movie....

Okay, and here's my new list:

AFI 100 Movies. I got some movies to watch.
