Vertigo and The Searchers are big climbers, which was to be expected. Great to see Sunrise included this time, but still no Night of the Hunter, The Band Wagon and Letter from an Unknown Woman. A slight improvement overall. 

So the original list was the base for wpqx viewing; for me it was John Kobal's top 100 Movies book, which got me hooked on world cinema. Has the composition of our respective base lists had an effect on our taste and judgement, i wonder. Anyway, i don't think too much of most of the various AFI lists, and the world is not so much in need of lists promoting American cinema. The Third Man was presumably (and rightly, i.m.o) dropped as British.
