Hate AFI's "new" list? What would you pick?

To me, the problem with the "new" AFI list is that many of the films were there the last time, and the few more recent titles feel like token acknowledgments. I mean, if you want to update the list, how about limiting it to the past 40 years, so that the audiences who originally saw the movies in question are not mostly dead? That would also make things a bit more relevant to today's society, values and issues.

Maybe I am opening a Pandora's Box here, and I hope that listing 100 films does not presume too much on anyone's patience, but seriously, what about something like this? (This is not just off the cuff; I gave this some thought before doing this post.)

To me, this is a better representation of what we today are all about as a people, and the experiences most of those still breathing have been through. (If this seems to conflict with another post of mine, note that these are my opinions about the best films, not my personal favorites.)

Thoughts? What would your top 100 consist of?

Fair (and easy) enough to shoot down my picks. We're all entitled to our own opinions ... but if my list sucks, then tell me why, or show me a hundred films that are better, not just a handful. (But at least it got people talking.)

Good list ... I wasn't necessarily trying to invalidate old movies, but there are some people who contend that you could not come up with 100 great movies if you limited it to, say, the past 30 or 40 years. As one person said, the good thing about these lists is that it showed him how few movies he had seen that predated 1970. I just think the reverse can also be true ... let's not assume that the best days of cinema are necessarily behind us. Many of the "greats" may be long gone, but there are plenty of interesting folks at work in the movies today.
