AFI Top 100

1. Citizen Kane (1941)
   yep.
2. Casablanca (1942)
   yep.
3. The Godfather (1972)
   yep.
4. Gone with the Wind (1939)
   yep.
5. Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
   Not the end-all be-all, not above Wizard.
6. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
   yep.
7. The Graduate (1967)
   yep.
8. On the Waterfront (1954)
   yep.
9. Schindler's List (1993)
   yep.
10. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
    Musicals, feh. Unless they're "Wizard of Oz" or "Nightmare before Christmas" or "Sound of Music" or "Mary Poppins" or "West Side Story"--in short, unless I saw them before puberty, "Nightmare" excepted--they suck.
11. It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
    yep.
12. Sunset Boulevard (1950)
13. The Bridge Over the River Kwai (1957)
    If it's a classic western or war movie, I saw it. Saturday afternoons reading and watching westerns with my father and sister and dog--that's my sister's favorite childhood memory. Not that I remember it much.
14. Some Like It Hot (1959)
    HO-hum
15. Star Wars (1977)

37. The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
    
38. Double Indemnity (1944) 2002
    What is it with James McCain? "Mildred Pierce" is much better, but I think he and Norman Bates have a lot in common, and even the Lana Turner version of "Postman" puts me to sleep. I finally saw this, and it is just too ridiculous. I'm sure it was remarkably sexy and innovative in its time, but no more.
