AFI's latest top ten list - classic genres

Their list is "ehh."

No "The Good the bad and the Ugly" for Westerns? I'm surprised Dr. Zhivago (sp) didn't make the list. Glad Laurence of Arabia made the 1# slot.

Good, Bad, Ugly should've been number one over Searchers...i'm not a Duke fan so i'm biased but it is waaayyy over rated as the best western...imo...

 

[Doh!]

I don't think Good, Bad & Ugly qualified because it was an Italian production, and the list was limited to American films. Otherwise, Once Upon a Time in the West should've topped the list.

 

[Doctor Strange]
