Insomnia Cinema: Your Thoughts on the Remaining AFI Top 100 (Patreon)
Content
Hey, Friends! I looked at the original 1998 AFI Top 100 films list today, and I seem to be working slowly through the list here on the channel (by myself or with Joe). I am hoping to get some input from you regarding the films I have not yet seen, in terms of how foundational and must-see the remaining films are (some of them are from old Hollywood, and I am unfamiliar with them at all). Thanks!#7 The Graduate (1967)#17 The African Queen (1951)#21 The Grapes of Wrath (1940)#23 The Maltese Falcon (1941)#24 Raging Bull (1980)#27 Bonnie and Clyde (1967)#35 It Happened One Night (1934)#36 Midnight Cowboy (1969)#37 The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)#43 King Kong (1933)#45 A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)#46 A Clockwork Orange (1971)#47 Taxi Driver (1976)#54 All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)#55 The Sound of Music (1965)#56 M*A*S*H* (1970)#57 The Third Man (1949)#58 Fantasia (1940)#59 Rebel Without a Cause (1955)#63 Stagecoach (1939)#68 An American in Paris (1951)#69 Shane (1953)#72 Ben-Hur (1959)#73 Wuthering Heights (1939)#74 The Gold Rush (1925)#76 City Lights (1931)#77 American Graffiti (1973)#80 The Wild Bunch (1969)#82 Giant (1956)#85 Duck Soup (1933)#86 Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)#87 Frankenstein (1931)#90 The Jazz Singer (1927)#92 A Place in the Sun (1951)#96 The Searchers (1956)#100 Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)Note: The 2008 updated list also includes The General, Intolerance, Nashville, Sullivan's Travels, Spartacus, Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, Swing Time, Sophie's Choice, and The Last Picture Show, which I have also not seen.
