Re: The AFI Top 100, what's missing?
notable omissions for me are
The Great Escape Manhattan The Thin Man (although I would take Libeled Lady just as well) Invasion Of The Body Snatchers Accidental Tourist (talk about underrated) All That Jazz (maybe not he strongest title, but certainly worthy of being somewhere in a list of 100 films considering what else is sitting in there) Also- Jaws should be a lot higher, ET a lot lower. The only positive changes I see are the inclusion of Blade Runner (though I would rather see Alien in there) along with The General. |

Altman's Nashville should be much higher (glad that it finally got in though; I remember seeing it got in in 2007 and giving a little cheer). It's a much better film than MASH. The Player is better too.
This is American films, right? I would say The Sweet Hereafter but I think it's Canadian. |

Canadian indeed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_10_...ms_of_All_Time The Sweet Hereafter is #4. I am ashamed to say that I have only seen 2 on the list, the other being Dead Ringers. However, Jesus of Montreal and The Barbarian Invasions have both been on my mental to-watch list for years. |

There is, sort of, a Canadian equivalent to the AFI list, but it is only a top ten. It is re-compiled once per decade and was list done in 2004:

Interesting. And those are the only two I've seen as well.
