58. Probably 20 of those from the old Netflix disc-ordering days, I went through a bit of a classic movie phase. I think we tried to tackle the IMDb top 100 (though I never got to Citizen Kane or Schindler's List, for example).

33

Would be interesting to see what would get added and dropped if they did it again today.

I bet The Dark Knight might sneak into the 90's. Maybe Inglourious Basterds?

51 for me. In college I decided to use the iMDB top 250 to pick movies from and a lot of these are from that time period.

Out of curiosity, I looked at IMDb's top 250 to see what post-2007 movies are on there. (Minus a few tiny foreign films nobody's seen.)

The Dark Knight
Inception
Interstellar
Parasite
Django Unchained
WALL-E
Avengers: Infinity War
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse
The Dark Knight Rises
Inglourious Basterds
Coco
Joker
Avengers: Endgame
Toy Story 3
Top Gun: Maverick
Up
The Wolf of Wall Street
Green Book
Shutter Island
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Inside Out
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Prisoners
Warrior
Gran Torino
12 Years A Slave
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Gone Girl
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Hacksaw Ridge
Mad Max: Fury Road
How To Train Your Dragon
Room
Ford v Ferrari
Spotlight
Logan
Rush
The Help

Truth be told, I didn't expect there to be this many, but by the time I realized it I was halfway down the list so I figured I'd finish it.

IMDb obviously skews way more towards younger viewers, so of that list, I don't see more than maybe 5-8 making it into a new AFI Top 100. And if it there was an initiative for more diversity, you can probably guess which ones would get added.

49.

Some of the older ones I haven't seen I could give you the plot and memorable quotes, so ingrained in pop culture they've become (Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, etc.). It almost feels like I've seen them.

38

lots of movies from the 70s.

I've seen 68, and like someone else mentioned, there was about a 5 year or so time period where I tried to go back and watch all the criterion collection movies and other movies from the original top 100.

I find most of the movies from before 1970 pretty hard to watch, but a few still hold up.

Once upon a time in Hollywood should be on that list

They're also skewed toward popular opinion. I'm curious about what the overlap between both AFI lists and the IMDB list is, but not enough to crawl through. Out of those, I'd think these would have a shot on the new list:

The Dark Knight
Inception
Interstellar
Parasite
Django Unchained
WALL-E
Inglourious Basterds
Avengers: Endgame
The Wolf of Wall Street
12 Years A Slave
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Mad Max: Fury Road
Spotlight

I'd also think The Departed, No Country For Old Men, and There Will Be Blood would get a look

Real F16 material in the preamble:

"American film has marginalized the diversity of voices that make our nation and its stories strong and these lists reflect that intolerable truth. AFI acknowledges its responsibility in curating these lists that has reinforced this marginality and looks forward to releasing new lists that will embrace our modern day and drive culture forward."

Puke. Can't I just enjoy the list without feeling guilty?

---

There's one film I can think of that tells of American stories from a diverse pov, but I don't see it on the list. Curious.

That would be Song of the South.

---

I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, but that one wasn't exactly critically lauded even in its own time

I've seen most of them, but they really need to update that list.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to suggest that SooS deserves inclusion on any such list, but in this day and age where diversity is the be-all, end-all for a segment of this population, it seems like a movie like this should at least get a look.

30 that I would say I've seen the entire film. Probably another 40 where I've seen half of it.

46 for me.

Other than Avengers, I think your list is fairly spot on although probably still not critical enough. Maybe add Prisoners from the original list. And definitely on NCFOM and TWBB. The Departed is a maybe. I put it below several of the others named

And I'm at 47. Most of the really old ones and some embarrassing ones that should probably fix and watch one of these days. I'm be seen the entire top 10 though

72

I've seen 74

50, but quite a lot of them were 'meh' and some downright bad IMO.

A lot of, "It's old so it's great", on that list.

I've seen 32 from the list.

94


They dropped a bunch of great films from the earlier list:

Fargo
My Fair Lady
From Here to Eternity

62

Clearly everyone's weekend assignment should be to comprise a list of the best 100 movies they've ever seen than have a feast of flames and angry rebuttals on President's Day.

61

Highest ranked movie on the list I haven't seen was Raging Bull. I'm not sure how I missed it over the years.

30

I've heard worse ideas. Gives me a chance to practice my diatribe about how "Army of Darkness" shoulda won an Oscar.

43 for me.

My list would include plenty of titles that would bring the classic TA "feast of flames", and probably very few of the titles on the AFI list.

Army of Darkness and Big Trouble in Little China should be shown every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
