Musca the thing is this what you've said is correct although not only at the list i think that if you go now to ask a critiziser what is he's favorite movie it will elect an oldie

FazeShift we are talking about the AFI list that just announces and about your commentary I go with you critics are afraid to loose so they choose what everyone of the critics choose and my favourite movies are my choices and i donīt have to depend on something to go to see them.

Yes Tweek, that is old. At least 12 years old. Is it because you are feeling old?

Most old movies that are still talked about today, (Gone With the Wind, East of Eden, A Streetcar Named Desire, Rebel Without A Cause, The Grapes Of Wrath, etc.), came from books. Every one I listed came from a book, (except Rebel Without A Cause. Unless it is? I'm not sure.) If a book is very classic, usually the movies derived from books survive the test of time because the books do. I, personally, find most old movies to be better than most new movies. There are of course exceptions, but old movies had something new movies now don't. Something I can't explain in words.

It's probably got something to do with how the vast majority of films used to be based on books. Nowadays, they've branched out a bit into making films based on comic books, tv shows, other films, radio shows, video games, real life, plays and toys, but even today, more films are made that are based on books than anything else.
I mean, look at IMDb's top 25 films at the minute: 1. The Shawshank Redemption (based on a short story) 2. The Godfather (based on a book) 3. The Godfather: Part II (based on a book and a sequel) 4. The Dark Knight (based on a series of comic books and a sequel) 5. Pulp Fiction (original idea - though heavily influenced by other films and books) 6. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly (sequel) 7. Schindler's List (based on a book based on real life) 8. 12 Angry Men (based on a play) 9. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (based on a book and a sequel) 10. Fight Club (based on a book) 11. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (based on a book) 12. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (sequel) 13. Inception (original idea) 14. Forrest Gump (based on a book) 15. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (based on a book) 16. Goodfellas (based on a book) 17. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (based on a book and a sequel) 18. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (original, though very heavily based on old film serials) 19. The Matrix (original, though very heavily based on Japanese animation) 20. Seven Samurai (original) 21. City of God (based on a book) 22. Se7en (original) 23. The Usual Suspects (original) 24. Once Upon a Time in the West (original) 25. The Silence of the Lambs (based on a book and, sort of, a sequel)

Every era of film has its fair share of absolute crap. The stuff that doesn't stand the test of time simply drops off the radar. The IMDb list that cyber_turnip posted contains a healthy mix of films from all generations, regardless of the source material. Having said that though, I really fucking hope the current Hollywood fad to remake/reboot every last franchise they can ends soon.
