Hey,

Do you have any idea how this list was made? Was it by a select jury
or a larger set of AFI voters?

I'm sure like the other lists it was a bunch of little old ladies deciding
what films should be on the list and in what order. :)

Supposedly it's voted on by AFI members but they never say who those members
are. And the films could have been pre-selected so the voters would only be
able to determine the order of the films but not which ones made the top
100. It's appearent that it's Hollywood voters based on the films chosen and
how they fared. The main critera is that the films have to be American
productions, so most of the Bond films don't qualify. It also explains why
non of the man-with-no-name westerns that Eastwood made aren't in the list.
(They were made in Italy.)

What about evil witch whatshername from Sleeping Beauty, then. Is
this a faceoff thread or something? :-)

Besides, we all know the indestructable alien devil, Lilo, would win.

Too gratuitously snotty--
Villains have to be focused, and wanting hearts in boxes would make half
the 90's villains squeamish.

Happy Saturday, DJ. Don't you have some HD BMX Race to watch or
