I own 20 of them and have counted an additional 28 that I used to own at one time (and hopefully will someday again). Still waiting for Paramount to get off their butts and release The African Queen. Absolutely ridiculous! They'd better do it right when they finally do it. I am rarely impressed by a Paramount release.

I own 46 and have sold off 4 over time ('Fantasia' because it was selling high and I realized I didn't care that much, 'Silence of the Lambs' (Criterion) & 'To Kill A Mockingbird' & 'Patton' I sold while they were OOP but solid upgrades had been announced, just haven't gotten around to upgrading them). And five more which were in my collection when it was stolen which I never got around to replacing.

I own at least one version of 96 of the titles on the list. I do not own Wuthering Heights, The African Queen, The Jazz Singer, or An American in Paris.
Based on the previews for the upcoming AFI 100 special, I think it is safe to assume that The Shawshank Redemption is now in the AFI top 100.
If anyone is interested, here is a list of the films leaving the list of 400 nominees and a list of the films that entered the list of 400 nominees. Twenty percent of the list of nominees changed.

This is a list I've long wanted to complete, and I now have around 90 out of the 100 movies. My problem is that there are two movies that I absolutely cannot imagine owning (and really, in both cases, I don't even respect anyone else's collection that does have them), and one of them (Star Wars) is on the AFI list (even worse, the far worse other, The Matrix, is nominated for the new list).
I'm sure someday soon I'll have 99 of the movies from the list. Not sure I'll ever give up my pride and lower the integrity of my collection in order to complete the list, though.
