	Great Quiz. Might be my new favorite. Time's 100 greatest English Language novels might also be a good one.

	Ben:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 18:56 GMT	12 points
	Ryan I can work on that one tonight... thanks for the suggestion

	davidr:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 19:32 GMT	45 points
	Before commenting, please bear in mind that all top-100 movies lists are rubbish because they never include your favourite and they always include that one you hate. :-)

	I love this one. It's been a while since we had a really good movie quiz. Maybe top 20 money-grossers of the 00's is due, with udpates as new movies come out?

	I love this quiz, thank you very very much!

	I wish AFI would give a little more credit to movies made in the last 20 years. Maybe consider posting the IMDb top 100, which is objective but gives credit where it is due and not just to old filmmakers. http://www.imdb.com/chart/top Could always use the top box office grosses from that site too.

	How could I only get half of these? This is awful. I feel dirty.

	Jaspers:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 21:02 GMT	12 points
	In all fairness, most recent movies are omitted from the list because they haven't had enough time to appreciate. We all know Casablanca is a classic, but we still need to wait and see if films like Crash, Million Dollar Baby, and A Beautiful Mind will be as monumental in the future as they were when they were released. Give it another ten, twenty, or thirty years; the paradigm will shift. Besides, 11 of the films that made the list were from the 90's; that's 11 percent representing the most recent decade.

	Some of these are on the list because of the subject matter. The movie Sunrise is about a farmer that leaves his wife to have an affair with a woman if questionable reputation and then 'repents' his decision. Very racy stuff for the 1920's

	Even though I wrote the quiz, I'm not a big fan of their list. In fact, I've only seen 29 of the films. There are several on there I'd like to see, but I just never get around to it.

	Booger:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 22:03 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz!

	radiosilence:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 22:30 GMT	6 points
	I've seen 44 films on the list, but not some of the films considered all-time classics like "Gone With the Wind," "Lawrence of Arabia" or "Singing In the Rain."

	Gator11:	Oct 15th, 2008 at 23:02 GMT	12 points
	This quiz makes me happy, as do most movie quizzes!

	Wow. I've seen 77 of these movies, including all of the top 29. Maybe I should go see Apocalypse Now.

	mschessplayer:	Oct 16th, 2008 at 09:25 GMT	-1 points
	Yuck, I've seen 35; and I considered myself a movie buff. I need to watch more TCM channel. I will remedy that this Winter thanks to the economy and $9.75 movie theatre prices.

	chodanutz:	Oct 16th, 2008 at 15:03 GMT	5 points
	Yea...i haven't seen a lot of these movies. But, thanks to Netflix, i have made it my mission to see 99 of the AFI top 100 this winter.(I refuse to ever watch Titanic. It may be a good movie, but when it came out and i had to hear that stupid Celine Dion song over and over, i made a promise to myself that i will NEVER see that movie, and i need to stick to my guns)

	I feel horrible about this, because I took this quiz with about 6-8 of my fellow classics grad students looking on, and we still only got about 60. In any case, I like this list immensely, although I've only seen 39. @bujumbo: I refuse to do what you ask. I agree that their should be foreign films as well, and I was alarmed at how few (i.e. 1) Universal monster movies there were. Surely "Dracula", "Frankenstein", "Bride of Frankenstein" and "The Invisible Man" deserve a nod?

	Tim_Allen:	Oct 16th, 2008 at 17:34 GMT	3 points
	The problem with using the IMDB charts, as someone mentioned above, is that they are always changing, so you'd have to update the quiz on a regular basis.

	davidr: ...because they're the 'American' Film Institute? "The American Film Institute was founded in 1967 as a national arts organization to train filmmakers and preserve America's vanishing film heritage. The National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities recommended creating AFI as a nonprofit "to enrich and nurture the art of film in America" with initial funding from the NEA, the Motion Picture Association of America and the Ford Foundation."

	davidr:	Oct 16th, 2008 at 21:49 GMT	1 point
	@Lindsay: "The art of film in America" not "the art of American film". The Oscars aren't only awarded to American films. In a related field, the US National Gallery of Art contains many works by non-American artists.

	davidr:	Oct 16th, 2008 at 22:49 GMT	3 points
	Ah. In fact the point is that this isn't the "AFI's top 100 movies": it's the 2007 revision list of the greatest American movies, the first version of which was released to celebrate the centenary of the American movie industry. Fair enough.
