June 21, 200719 yr Anyone else watching this? I always enjoy being reminded of the great films out there.
June 21, 200719 yr I am. I always wondered where Atticus' avatar came from, now I know it comes from To Kill A Mockingbird.
June 21, 200719 yr Author ^That and "The Grapes of Wrath" are two books that are done justice by the movie adaptations. Great, great movie.
June 21, 200719 yr Author Scarface, The Godfather, and Citizen Kane are 3 that are still to come.....Last time they did this, Citizen Kane was #1. I'm going to say it stays there.
June 21, 200719 yr Don't tell me To Kill A Mockingbird has already been on?!!!! Last year, Atticus Finch was the Film Institute's Greatest Hero and I assume the film would be at least top 3. I have been in and out but haven't seen it yet. Was glad to see The Searchers and Shane rank way up there tho.

I have been in and out but haven't seen it yet. Was glad to see The Searchers and Shane rank way up there tho. I think it was #24 or so...I agree way to low.
June 21, 200719 yr I think it was #24 or so...I agree way to low. It was #25. I think Citizen Kane will be #1, but can anyone tell me why? I don't get why it is such a great American movie. :confused:
June 21, 200719 yr Author So what are the top 2? #1 is going to be Citizen Kane, but I'm at a loss for what #2 is going to be...:confused:
June 21, 200719 yr It was #25. I think Citizen Kane will be #1, but can anyone tell me why? I don't get why it is such a great American movie. :confused: I'm crushed. No. 25. What does AFI know anyway? I have never seen it ranked so low. Anyway, I own Citizen Kane and do so only because everyone said it was so great but I don't see it either. It's good, really good, and the ending is fabulous, but IMO not the best of all time. I must admit when I first saw it "Rosebud" got me at the end so strong I had to watch it again. Don't get me wrong, it is not a bad movie at all; just a tad overrated IMO. I guess I'm still a little miffed over my movie being so low.
June 21, 200719 yr No one really gives a reason why its so good. They just talk about how you could watch it over and over and it never get old...
June 21, 200719 yr I wish Schindler's List was higher, especially since it was based on a true story.
June 21, 200719 yr That's right. They can't answer it either.. It "demands attention for another way of looking at the world". That was one answer. I'm not persuaded.
