AFI Ain’t Got Nothing on CJZ

Posted on by
Last week The American Film Institute updated 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…
  1. Rocky, 1976.
  2. The Wizard of Oz, 1939
  3. Ben-Hur, 1959
  4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969
