i caught the tail end of AFI’s top 100 movies last night on Bravo. i have no idea if this was a first run or repeat, i expect it’s a repeat but i’m feeling too lazy today to find out. regardless i found their choices to be pretty good overall. as usual i felt strongly that some stuff was misplaced…even if it belonged in the top 100, it didn’t belong above or below such and such, which is i suppose how we all feel about lists.
it did make me think about my own lists though (fyi – i love lists – i suppose it makes me feel in control in a world of utter chaos). anyway, i think i’ll try to do a Kelly’s Top 100 sometime soon. i suspect that’s a much more difficult task than it sounds, but i’m going to give it a go. so keep an eye out, i’m sure my list will be much more controversial than AFI’s…for example Citizen Kane (AFI’s #1), will be on my list but certainly not at #1 and you know what else will be on my list? The Faculty. that’s right, i love that freaking movie…and this is MY list! Bwahahahahahahaahaha!
Here’s a link to an article about the AFI Top 100, which includes the full list, in case you’re as behind as i am…enjoy!

this article also has the 1998 top 100 list as a pretty nice comparison. it’s fascinating to see the stuff that has really jumped up or down on the list.
a still from The Faculty…tell me it doesn’t look awesome…c’mon!!!!!!!

Not to be confused with the Top 100 “Guilty Pleasure Movies” I’d like to list, including “The Cutting Edge” and “10 Things I Hate About You” and all the other movies I find myself watching when I’m feeling slightly depressed.
I’ve lately found “High School Musical 2” has appeared on this list… but sort of far down from the top.

Elijah makes that movie….”Showdown”.

scottyt:
he totally does – i agree 100% – without him it’d be just another teen horror/comedy wannabe.

holly:
you are right (about “The Cutting Edge” – though i kind of hate “10 Things…”) and i’m sad to say that in wittling down my top 100 list (i’ve barely scratched the surface) The Faculty may end up getting cut and having to live only on the “Top 100 Guilty Pleasures List” (well, maybe 50 guilty pleasures). there are just too many great movies out there, when i looked at my list, for The Faculty, though i love it so, to make the cut.
*sigh*
and i wanted to be all different and shit!
