In 1999 the American Film Institute (AFI) picked the Top 100 American
films. Their sci-fi picks were as follows:
#15 Star Wars - 1977
#22 2001: A Space Odyssey - 1968
#25 E.T.- The Extraterrestrial - 1982
#46 A Clockwork Orange - 1971
#64 Close Encounters of the Third Kind - 1977
#87 Frankenstein - 1931
I'd read the list when it came out in the newspaper and was appalled
that "The Ten Commandments" - 1956, was not on the list. Several
days later, a disgruntled person from NYC wrote a letter to USA
Today newspaper echoing my exact sentiments. While there are a lot
of great films that rightly belong on the list, there are a number
of others that I think rank far below "The Ten Commandments". - AH
