Live Poll: Most Deserving AFI 100 Movies Addition

I think Amadeus would get my vote between the two.

me too...

Thanks, I am curious to see if it happens in reality.

I would agree. in some cases, like the the one you cite the best movie of series is not the one that tops these types of lists. More often, than not, the "original" is the best, but sometime this bias toward the first overshadows the movies that do break the rule.

I agree, all should be in the conversation. I also agree more than one deserves to make the cut. The tough choice is for every movie that deserves to make the cut, you have to take a movie out. Personally, I could see at least a dozen changes. Plus, I thought the original AFI 100 list was more on the mark than the AFI 10 year anniversary list.

I agree, I find the disconnect perplexing to some degree for the two top 100 lists.
Even though, I can understand that critical and pop favorites are two different animals. There still should be a group of movies that both groups can agree on that are universally regarded as great. I also thought greatness should be timeless.

So, I found the amount of change from the 1st AFI 100 list to the 10 year anniversary list surprising. Even though, it wasn't the same 1500 "movie experts" it still was a panel of same type of people( industry types, film historians, critics, etc.) that a third of the list changed.

Based on the criteria for AFI's Top 100 American films based on critical recognition, award wins, popularity, cultural impact, and innovation to film, I concur on The Exorcist (Movie Meter#1516), The Great Dictator (Movie Meter#3256), and The Birth of a Nation (Movie Meter#8814) would seem like gross omissions. To a lesser extent, The Sting (Movie Meter#3114) and Back To The Future (Movie Meter#338) can make a case. All of these movies prestige, I think suffer greatly from their currently popularity overshadowing their established credentials.

thanks, corrected question

Which movie NOT on AFI's last 100 Years ... 100 Movies is most worthy of your vote on an updated list? * minimum requirements: American-made, multiple Oscar wins and an IMDb Top 125 ranking (data as of 18 January 2018)

Thank you.
