HOORAY, HOORAY, HOORAH! In honor of Alex's one-year bloggiversary, the American Film Institute proudly presents Tuesday night its seventh annual 100 Years, 100 Something list, taking up three relaxing hours on CBS. If you haven't sat back and watched one of the AFI list shows before, it's just a great night for movie fans.

This year, it's 100 Years, 100 Songs, and while Madonna's "Hanky Panky" (from Dick Tracy) and the Kellerman's Anthem from Dirty Dancing weren't nominated, it's going to be a good night of second-guessing and anticipation. Where will cabaret standard "Through The Eyes Of Love" end up? Was Zimmy's "Things Have Changed" better than "Hooray for Captain Spaulding?" Will "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" edge out "Big Bottom"?

For once on an AFI list, I'm not sure which of the 400 nominees is going to win, but if I had to guess, I'd figure your last clip features Judy Garland singing in black-and-white from somewhere resembling Kansas.

You?
