So yeah, The AFI aired their “10th Anniversary” special earlier this week , and of course there are many good choices. And many lame ones. For the sake of brevity I’m only going to list three:

1 Why is freakin’ Schindler’s List rated HIGHER than The Wizard of Oz?! That’s just plain wrong.
2 Out of all of Scorsese’s work, why Raging Bull? Why? Why?
3 Spielberg was interviewed way, way too many times. His false modesty (“When I was making E.T. I was only making it for myself; we had no idea it would resonate …”) made me sick to my stomach.

Blah, blah, blah. Time to be self-indulgent: here are my Top Ten Favorite Movies in alphabetical order:

Belle de Jour
Dawn of the Dead
Dumbo
It’s a Wonderful Life
Lawrence of Arabia
Lost Highway
Rear Window
3 Women
True Stories
Vertigo
