Last week The American Film Instituteupdated it’s list of the 100 Greatest American Movies of All Time. I tried to avoid weighing in since everything except my top two choices are subject to change, but the temptation was too great not to at least sort out my top 25. Everything after my first and second choices are in alphabetical order. There are other films that would make my top 25, but I limited myself to the AFI’s Top 100, so here it is…
Rocky, 1976.
The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Ben-Hur, 1959
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969
Casablanca, 1942
