Have You Ever Seen

AFI's Not Quite 100 Listicle


Listen Later

Holidays often mean we post a listicle...and so the Civic Holiday brings about our breakdown of the American Film Institute's greatest movies that DIDN'T make their 1998 or 2007 Top 100 lists. So there’s no Citizen Kane, Godfather, Jaws action here. These are nominees that were shunned both times, such as Dog Day Afternoon, Ghostbusters, L.A. Confidential...and so many more. Bev listed her #100 down to #11 alphabetically while Ryan came up with categories in groups of 10. Then we each did a more thorough analysis of our Top 10 lists. So get cozy on this first Monday of August as the 679th edition of Have You Ever Seen highlights 100+ choices of outstanding American movies on this AFI's Not Quite 100 listicle.

Well, Actually: Brad Pitt IS in 3 movies between our 2 lists, but one of them was just a tiny cameo in Being John Malkovich. Also, it appears that Martin Scorsese should not have been listed with the directors who have 3 movies on one or both of our lists (it's just 2). Also also, Sigourney Weaver WAS in an AFI movie, but her 3 seconds in Annie Hall was a cameo at the very end where you can barely tell it's her.
