100 Greatest Movie Lists

     Back around 2000, AFI came out with a list of the 100 greatest movies ever made. They then expanded the list to include the Greatest Romances, Greatest Comedies, Greatest Thrillers, Most Inspirational movies, and the Greatest Musicals. Now being the person I am, I decided that to improve myself I needed to watch all of these. Luckily my girlfriend at the time (now wife) also wanted to do this with me, so we started watching the movies. The setup of the pages are simple, the movies are listed "best movie order" according to AFI, then I gave a short review of the movies (of the ones I have seen).


The Different Movie Lists

 

This is the 100 Greatest Movies of all time. I have been concentrating on this list the most, but I am starting to expand to the other lists more actively. Veronica (the wife) wanted to wait till the final movie to watch #1, so that is currently the only movie we can't watch yet.

10 years after AFI came out with their original 100 Greatest Movies list they did it again. This time they have some new additions, lots of placement changes and some losses. But overall the list is basically the same except the last 20 which have a lot of new movies, probably movies that were close to being on the original list but didn't make the cut.

Since I was making my wife watch the 100 Greatest Movies she wanted me to expand to include the Greatest Romances as well. So I agreed.

Same thing as the Romances. I agreed to do this for my wife.

The problem with these is that I really do not like scary movies and this category includes everything from Indiana Jones to Carrie so I am not looking forward to this one. But might as well do all of the lists.

100 Most Inspirational

This is one of the most recent additions. AFI had a whole TV series based on this, giving the movie list a good deal of publicity.

25 Greatest Musicals

I was actually amazed to find this list. I did not even know they had done this. There are only 25 movies on the list but if you have seen all of the 100 Greatest Movies then you saw most of these.
