why the hell did AFI put this in the 100 best movies?


It was okay. I laughed. No doubt, a good movie. But to put it in the 100 best and leave out movies like Rosemary's Baby, Planet of the Apes, Phantom of the Opera, The Exorcist, Glory,... Come on. That's nuts. Again, I liked Bringing Up Baby. It was funny. But no way.

On another note, I saw this in a theater last night and the guy telling facts about it beforehand said it has one of the most recognizable lines in movie history. He said "Believe me, you'll recognize it when you hear it." I didn't hear any lines I knew. I never heard something and said "Oh yeah, so this is what that line is from!" The line that got the biggest reaction was the gay line but I never heard it before.
