AFI’s 100 Years - 100 Movies - 10th Anniversary Edition
For anyone that lives in the UK (or can get access to UK programs somehow) you may have watched the 10th anniversary edition of the AFI’s Top 100 Films of All Time. Now if I’m not mistaken this is the updated list (and not just a rerun), the one they put out a few months ago. I know most of you keep your eye on the AFI’s list but since I was just reminded of it by the three-hour showcase last night I thought I would remind you all too.
