Thread Name: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
Subject: RE: BS: The 100 greatest movies of all time
The most important question is Janie's, what are the criteria for "greatness"?
Was the AFI list headed as in the subject box , or "The 100 greatest American films". If the first, why do we suppose 'American' wasn't in the title?
There are many such lists.
Perhaps we can add our own top 100s - now that would be interesting.
N.B. If that engages you, make sure you sharply differentiate "greatest" from "favourite" - not the same ting.
