In Reply to: AFI Top 100 List redux posted by mishmashmusic on June 21, 2007 at 08:29:11:
The AFI has an agenda -- they want to promote film-going. That means that the AFI list is going to be VERY different than a list compiled by, say, Professors of Film History. You lose your voice as an authority and undermine your public relations activities if you alientate or disenfranchise 90% of our audience -- hence the inclusion of so many trite films and the demotion of so many serious and signficant ones.
