The Fanboy 100

It’s fast approaching the time of year when lists really start going into full swing. This is one of the few lists that actually caught my eye. A quick bit of background for you:

Earlier this year the American Film Institute re-voted their top 100 American movies of all time. The first list, compiled in 1998 sparked a great discussion, several TV specials and got people talking about some old classics they hadn’t seen in a while. This year that list was updated to see how the films of the last 10 years would be ranked and to see how our tastes in culture had changed.

Apparently enough fanboys got upset by these rankings, or what was left out of them perhaps, that some of them made a list of what SHOULD have been the top 100. A quick glimpse at the top 10 after the jump:

1. The Godfather
2. Psycho
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Casablanca
5. Citizen Kane
6. Schindler’s List
7. Goodfellas
8. Apocalypse Now
9. Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
10. Star Wars

I’m not suprised at all that The Godfather grabbed the top spot in this list, and I love that Dr. Strangelove snuck into the top 10. There’s some interesting entries on this list, I recommend you go check it out. What movies should have made the list?
