I sat through the whole thing, switching over to the Red Sox/Braves game
(I mean slaighter)during the obscenely frequent commercials. I puked at the beginning when they briefly showed a clip from the horrid "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Even though they limited themselves to American films, some of the choices were amazingly poor. Others ("Citizen Kane" as #1 still. "Sunrise", "Chinatown") made sense. But "LOTR"? And if they gave it to the LOTR trilogy, then why was "Star Wars" limited to Episode IV? Oh wait, because the other episodes suck so much. I see.

Ummm, the didn't give it to the LoTR trilogy. Apparently, the first film (Fellowship)... - Audiophilander 11:24:30 06/21/07 (1)
... was given a slot among the Top 100 even though all are excellent, but your point about the other Star Wars films sucking (well, Episodes I, II & III respectively) is well taken.
