COME TO LOS ANGELES! THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT, THE BEACHES ARE WIDE AND INVITING, AND THE ORANGE GROVES STRETCH AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE: Edward Copeland has his own list of the 100 greatest movies of all time. It's a good one.
e.t.a. See, also, Andrew Dignan, "Addressing This AFI Bullshit": "Titanic makes the list but L.A. Confidential doesn’t, proving once and for all nothing makes a film a classic like bilking millions of teenage girls out of their allowance. And can someone please explain to me how Tootsie keeps showing up on these lists (boy is that film attracting buzzards) but Broadcast News, which just gets more prescient with each passing day, is a no-show?"
[Also, I know I already raised the His Girl Friday issue, but I realized today that Preston Sturges' The Lady Eve didn't make the list either, and we're only talking about one of the best female performances of all time there from Barbara Stanwyck.]
