Brandon Adamson's "100 Greatest Movies"
A few years back AFI came out with their list of the "100 Greatest Movies" ever
made. I disagreed with much of it as I found it pretty much just media generated "conventional wisdom", and a lot of the
films they listed were just overrated big budget crap.
Keep in mind these are loosely ranked as I don't believe there is a
"best movie ever made" etc.
