OFF TOPIC: AFI 100 years...100 films

[Alan Kita]

I apologize for not quoting the document but ... attached and the URL
below is for the 400 films that the American Film Institute historians
has selected to be reviewed by a blue ribbon panel and whittle it down
to 100 years...100 films.  Judging criteria included critical
recognition, popularity over time, historical significance, cultural
impact and major award winners.

If you have problems opening the URL, please let me know and I can copy
it and send it to you privately after December 1 (I'll take a short
vacation.)

Yes, a few films that most consider British are included - "Chariots of
Fire," for example.  Animated films are included - mostly Disney's
classics, new and old - all three Star Wars episodes, Spielberg films. 
Some surprises are the short list of silent films, and films like "Babe"
and "Fast Times at Ridgmont High."
