I'm not a fan of lists by consensus like the now infamous AFI Top 100 (though the British Film Institute's list isn't half bad). I do, however, enjoy the various reactions to these lists. A couple of great ones are: Jonathan Rosenbaum's Alternative 100 Top Films/Movies, Slant Magazine's 100 Essential Films, Cinescape's Top 100 Sci-Fi, Horror & Fantasy Films, and James Beradinelli's All-Time Top 100. And, of course, Roger Ebert's Great Movies series -- not exactly a list but some of the best writing about film around.
Anyone care to share their own reactions to these lists? Or point out some good lists that I've missed? Discuss Here.
