AFI Recap: #91 – #100

August 3, 2011

91. My Fair Lady (1964) – I will say I enjoyed the linguistic aspect of this movie and found it quite interesting.  I also found both Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrington to be very charming in their roles.  However, there are way, way, way too many songs and it is overlong by about an hour.  […]

AFI Recap: #81 – #90

81. Modern Times (1936) – My least favourite of the three Chaplin entries in this list.  It lacks much of the charm of City Lights and Gold Rush, but the satire was great.  Full review here.  – 82. Giant (1956) – It’s like Gone With the Wind, but not good.  Its long and meandering and […]

71. Forrest Gump (1994) – I remember seeing Forrest Gump when I was a kid and loving it.  Years later, I wondered if the film’s greatness came mostly from the hype around it, but luckily after watching it a couple more times over the last few years, I realize that it is just as great […]

41. West Wide Story (1961) – I feel like a bit of a curmudgeon for not liking this movie.  I can see why people do like it, however, as it has a lot of exuberance and the core of the story is actually pretty strong.  But I just couldn’t help feel like it never reached […]

21. The Grapes of Wrath (1940) – This is the ultimate American story about the great depression.  It is well directed and has some real moments of gold.  But for all that it can be quite dull and dreary. — 22. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – A true masterpiece, yet I still find it […]

11. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) – I know people are probably sick of this movie as its on TV every single Christmas, but I don’t care.  I still love it.  It’s not the movie’s fault that its overplayed, and the movie itself is wonderful (just as the title indicates).  It is heartfelt and dramatic, […]
