I realize that others have published AFI lists here already but I thought it would be nice to have my own checklist here and I don't think anyone's published one that denotes the changes between the original and the 10th anniversary edition. Regardless, I've made an early New Year's resolution to myself to take in more of the prominent films of the past that I've yet to see, such as those listed here.

I've ranked those that I've seen so far, so if you don't see a ranking from me then that, of course, means I have yet to see it. As of this posting I've watched 69 of the 123 listed here, so I suppose I've got my work cut out for me and that's not even factoring in the other films by my favorite actors that I wish to see, too.

Note: Of the 23 films new to the list, 4 were released between '96 and '06, the remainder were released prior to '96.

(naturally, the list was gleaned from AFI's website...specifics as to how the list was compiled and movies chosen can be found there.)
