The Fanboy 100
Posted by jporro under 100 Years... 100 Movies - 10th Anniversary Edition[2] Comments
A while ago we reported on Daily Film Dose’s retooling of the 100 Greatest Movie List to ask if “Do scholars, historians and industry people think differently than fans?” (Full post HERE).
Now the voting is over and the result are interesting…
From Daily Film Dose:
We can now put rest speculations of how the fans may have voted for their favourite films, in comparison to the AFI’s. The major difference of this list is that the Fanboys were allowed the choice of moving off the 400-film short list for as many selections as possible. The AFI allowed only five, which, in my opinion, cuts down the votes significantly. Funny enough, even with the allowance of as many free selections, all of the films below were on the 400 short list.
Here is the top 10:
1. THE GODFATHER (1972)
2. PSYCHO (1960)
3. PULP FICTION (1994)
4. CASABLANCA (1942)
5. CITIZEN KANE (1941)
6. SCHINDLER’S LIST (1993)
7. GOODFELLAS (1990)
8. APOCALYPSE NOW (1979)
9. DR. STRANGELOVE (1964)
10. STAR WARS (1977)
For the rest: HERE

My one question is, why is not a Charlie Chaplin film in the top ten, of AFI’s 100 years. . . 100 Movie List? Chaplin put Hollywood on the map.
My one statement is more people have seen “Wizard of Oz,” than “The Godfater.”

Pulp Fiction is the most over-rated movie ever. Why people think it is so great is a mystery to me.
