AFI Celebrates 100 Years Of Movies

[The Dude]

I've watched a good chunk of those films but I still have a decent size to go through before I can say I watched them all. Mainly the classics.

Clockwork Orange at number 70? should be more higher ranking on the list.

Kinda strange how the most recent film on there is 6 years old now. But given the modern cinema with a few exceptions, I can see why.

I can't believe The Fast and the Furious didn't make the list. :P

But seriously, Citizen Kane as number one? I can't say I agree with that in the least. I was so bored through that movie. It's a great movie to try to dissect and all but it's really boring as all hell. I'm all for artistic films but they still ought to be entertaining, and Citizen Kane was not by a long shot.
