I don't want to see To Kill A Mockingbird move any higher than it's current #32 either... but so long as friggin' Magnolia doesn't make it, I'm cool.

Magnolia wasn't nominated.

I'm surprised at the amount of turnover so far...lots of new movies...Ben-Hur dropped almost 30 spots...this is going to be an all new list.

I saw all of the last list. But now I already have 5 more movies to see. Gee...can't wait to watch Swing Time.

And as far as the original thread question:
Titanic (1997)
The Sixth Sense (1999)

I'm taping this so I don't have to sit through all the commercials.

Did they say if after the show they'll reveal what caused the change in order of some films?

It's disgusting to see Titanic even on the list let alone ranked higher than films such as Ben Hur and Pulp Fiction.

There will be hell to pay if Nashville isn't on the list this time.

What I find odd: why are some of these older films suddenly "great"? Why weren't they there before? I do like the inclusion of Swing Time, though. A great movie.

A Clockwork Orange dropped so far? Shocked.

What the hell is Sophie's Choice doing there anyway? Streep is good, but the movie is a bore.

At one moment I'm somewhat disappointed, then they pull me back in...great that Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was recognized (it should be higher though and I'm surprised it wasn't there before).

The African Queen totally imploded. Cabaret is the highest debut so far, but...

Ooooooooooooooooh...they just teased Nashville!

That's what happens when you don't issue an R1 DVD in 10 years.

Cool, both of them made the list. Duck Soup is definitely their masterpiece.

Probably different voters for one thing. Also I've seen lots of movies in the last 10 years I never saw before thanks to DVD, I'm sure lots of voters did too.
