100 Greatest Movies according to AFI

For about a year now my friend, Danielle, and I have been on a mission to watch the 100 Greatest Movies on the American Film Institutes list. I think this is the most amount of movies I have watched in my life, or at least it feels this way. The movies on this list are usually chosen for what they have done for the movie industry in general not because they have amazing story lines. So far I have watched 46 out the 100 movies on the list. I could be further but the movie rentals around my town are complete crap.
Top 10 Movies from AFI
1. Citizen Kane
2. The Godfather
3. Casablanca
4. Raging Bull
5. Singin' in the Rain
6. Gone with the Wind
7. Lawrence of Arabia
8. Schindler's List
9. Vertigo
10. The Wizard of Oz

Top 10 according to MY List
1. Vertigo
2. Psycho
3. Singin' in the Rain
4. Some Like it Hot
5. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
6. Tootsie
7. The Silence of the Lambs
8. A Night at the Opera
9. Swing Time
10. 12 Angry Men

I tend to disagree with the top movies AFI has listed as the best because I like when the movies have a better plot and capture my attention. The movies in the Top 100 on AFI's list have been given this honor because these movies have done specific things to help cinematography progress throughout the ages. For instance, Citizen Kane (one of my least favorite movies) is number one because of its great cinematography with crisp coloring, even though it is in black and white, and because it impersonated William Randolph Hearst. Hearst was a newspaper tycoon and this movie ruffled his feathers especially because it talked about his mistress.

I am extremely happy Danielle and I have started this list because the movies I like and the criteria I judge other movies with have drastically changed.
