It's a little on the expensive side. I'm sure it's well worth it.

AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition)
Look at the criteria * Feature-length: Narrative format typically over 60 minutes in length. * American film: English language, with significant creative and/or financial production elements from the United States. * Critical Recognition: Formal commendation in print, television, and digital media. * Major Award Winner: Recognition from competitive events including awards from peer groups, critics, guilds and major film festivals. * Popularity Over Time: This includes success at the box office, television and cable airings, and DVD/VHS sales and rentals. * Historical Significance: A film's mark on the history of the moving image through visionary narrative devices, technical innovation or other groundbreaking achievements. * Cultural Impact: A film's mark on American society in matters of style and substance. I don't know why some of you are upset about The Sixth Sense making it in. When it came out, people were talking about ending for months. Definitely culturally significant.

AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition)
Wikipedia is man's new best friend.They should open it up to all movies and just redo the whole thing. Perceptions can change a lot in 10 years. Unless that is what they're doing. I know for the first list they had 400 nominations, so at least include those and this new list.As for these new movies:LA Confidential - should get in the Top 100Titanic - gets a ton of backlash, but it's still a great movie, and one that's of historical importance. I wouldn't argue if it got voted into the 80-100 range.Saving Private Ryan - I guess I'm not a huge war movie fan, but I don't see this as Top 100 material. Not saying I don't like it. It probably sneaks on there.The Matrix - I really feel like this should be in the Top 100. It completely revitalized the sci-fi genre, and even martial arts to some degree. It was a great idea that was very well-executed.Gladiator - come on, Jewbility. You can't be calling this a virtual lock. I'd say it has no shot.LOTR (the first one) - maybe this sneaks on just because it started a phenomenon and was like nothing we had ever seen before.Eternal Sunshine - my personal favorite movie. Objectively speaking--or trying to anyway--it's the one movie on this list that probably deserves to be in the Top 50. And I have a couple of other personal faves on this list, like Lost in Translation, Three Kings, and Good Will Hunting--that I would never attempt to make this argument for. Unfortunately, it will probably be viewed as too small, and therefore probably has no chance.The only other movies I think I have a chance are The Sixth Sense and Memento, but I think they're both long shots. I wouldn't put either in. You were on the money Mabdul.Interesting. They traded D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation (failed to make it in) for Griffith's Intolerance.

The Searchers had the largest jump at 84.

Bloomberg drops Republican affiliation
Bloomberg/Schwarzenegger ticket could be possible. I don't believe the Constitution says anything about the Vice President being born in this country as well. Saw this on a morning show, btw. Not making it up.

Flight of the Conchords
Premiers on HBO at 10:30 this Sunday (after Entourage.) Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are your typical sad-sack, self-absorbed struggling musicians, trying to get laid and book club gigs where they might actually get to play after dark. (Their manager makes the daft agent on "Extras" seem helpful by comparison.) It's all pretty standard stuff, shot on a dime against grungy New York backdrops. Part of the lyric "You're so beautiful ... Like a high-class prostitute ... You could be a part-time model." I've seen some clips. Some hilarious stuff in there.

Apple brings Safari to Windows!
I had my bookmarks deleted earlier this year (Firefox). I thought it was MY fault. Guess this is more common than I thought it was. It crashes about 2 times a day. Sometimes I have to restart the comp. Usually its when I open .pdf files. Weird. It's about time!! Now all they need to do is port Adium so I can use the best multi protocol IM client out there. Amen to that. I'm sick of Trillian.

John from Cincinnati
Fixed. I've been reading some reviews and the critics seem to hate it. I think it could be one of those love it or hate it shows. We really won't know until the fist season wraps up.

On The Lot
I have to go back on my previous comments about the host. She has gotten progressively worse. I still think it's partly due to the writing, but also she and Carrie Fisher have gotten mean. To the point of unlikeable.

John from Cincinnati
I loved it. Once you get past the first 10 minutes, the show got deeper and deeper. I can't wait to see what happens next.

DVD Suggestions
I would recommend Extras, Entourage, and Boston Legal. I would most recommend Entourage (Season 2). It's a lot of fun and you don't have to use up too many brain cells to view. Extras (Season 2, never saw 1) is only six episodes long and it's hilarious. I suggested Boston Legal because you listed The Practice (best legal show ever). BL is the spin-off, which at times, is the funniest show on television. Three fun, light shows to watch. If you want to go a bit darker, then I would suggest Rome and Nip/Tuck.

Paris Hilton out of jail.
How is her serving the entire sentence she was given an abuse of power? And I'm going to echo the earlier comments.....this is a news thread. Why does it have to be moved? No one serves full sentences. We'd have 900 million people in jail if people served full terms. Bingo. Show me the amount of people that are serving the time she will for her crime. Um...a lot of people serve their entire sentence. I work in the DC criminal justice system. People don't get released after serving 3/45ths of their sentence. People serve their entire sentence. That's ridiculous. I believe Martha Stewart served all if not most of her sentence. ... at Camp Cupcake. :lol

Paris Hilton out of jail.
I agree, this is news. I've seen it reported on World News with Charles Gibson, FOX News, MSNBC, and CNN... and that was only yesterday. It's also an insult to the Media Guide forum.

Speed Racer
I love how Susan Sarandon still gets tied to Dead Man Walking even though it came out over a decade ago. Scott Porter is a rising star. Just watch any episode of Friday Night Lights. Great, great actor.

Random Triva Thread: Movie Edition
I knew it was All About Eve (forgot about Titanic). I shouldn't have said that. But I was still wrong. Next Question? Okay Fox, I'm going to give you a fairly easy pre-70s question. What movie was the first to win the top 4 awards (picture, director, actor, actress)?
