Outside of 2001, Blade Runner, Solyaris, Brazil, and maybe The Day the Earth Stood Still, there just aren't many that get seriously mentioned as great films. [/ QUOTE ] *cough* Metropolis *cough* [ QUOTE ] re: TSPDT - yes, this site is great. I had never heard of it before seeing Pryor post it in the Lounge Links thread and use it all the time now, wonderful resource. [/ QUOTE ] isn't it awesome?

Re: AFI\'s top 100.........
I'm really happy to see Mulholland Drive at #1 on the TSPDT 21st century list. Some of my friends hate this, but I genuinely feel this is one of the finest examples of cinema as an art ever made. It truly is an experience and Lynch has you feeling exactly what he had in mind at every point.

Some films are rated way too high, and others way too low. I think that In the Mood for Love is right where it should be, but, I am a big fan of sideways, but I wouldn't have it be the third best film of the 00s. I also think that City of God is way too low and same with Talk To Her, while we see american splendor in the top 25 and the Downfall not even make the list. Pryor is most likely right though that this list is based on metacritic scores and awards won. It will be very interesting to look at this list in even 5 years time as we will think, what was going on here

Re: AFI\'s top 100.........
How did TSPDT leave Wake in Fright off their list? Rare & hard to find, but up there with the best of all time.

Re: AFI\'s top 100.........
Some more info - this film was nearly lost completely. Lear Media in Canada sell vhs copies that are very rough. I notice they now sell dvd's - so I'll probably get another copy. Here is a brief article on the "find"

Re: AFI\'s top 100.........
That site is really cool.
I noticed directors have a rating. I didn't find how to see a list by grade, so I compiled the list myself: There are only 5 directors with a rating of 10 they are: Luis Buñuel Howard Hawks Alfred Hitchcock Fritz Lang Martin Scorcese I was surprised that Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard and Federico Fellini had a rating of 8. I was also surprised that "A Clockwork Orange" did not make the list of "Must-See", "Highly-Recommended" or even "Recommended".
