Controversial....

168.10.128.185

Judging works of art as the greatest often generates a certain
amount of controversy, especially when there are multiple contenders
for the honor, and those works of all of exceptional quality and
adherents of each have compelling arguments.
A couple of years ago, the American Film Institute (AFI) released
a list of the TOP 100 American Films of the 20th Century. Selection
was performed by AFI's "blue-ribbon panel" of more than "1500 leaders
of the American movie community".
I provide you with the TOP 10 from that list: 1)Citizen Kane; 2)Casablanca; 3)The Godfather; 4)Gone With The Wind; 5)Lawrence of
Arabia; 6)The Wizard of Oz; 7)The Graduate; 8)On The Waterfront;
9)Schindler's List; 10)Singing In The Rain.
One of my picks for contention of the greatest film, was "The Ten
Commandments" -1956; this film was not only not included in the TOP
10, it failed to even make the TOP 100! You can imagine how irked I was; however,
I did receive some consolation when I later read a pooh-poohing
letter of the list from a likewise irked NYC gentleman in USA Today newspaper. - AH
