Cool! Of the AFI's 100 most thrilling films, I've only missed 12 of them!

Some (rather most, if not all) of the ones I missed sounded
really good ("The Omen" and that Jack Lemmon film about
nuclear war in the 70's looked really good, forgot the title).

Overall, they did a pretty good job of ranking the movies, I've seen
a lot worse and Raiders' #10 is a damn decent rating!

Biggest complaint: "Titanic" even being ranked in there, what the
hell is that all about?

Once again, Spielberg's comments were the highlight of the
show! Seagal and Van-Damme had no business talking about
classics like "The Great Escape" though! Steve McQueen would
kick Van Damme's ass for that! Also some more weaker
commentaries were from Anne Archer. She's almost as
annoying as the bland housewives she's played in "Fatal
Attraction" and "Patriot Games", but Leonard Maltin saved the day
in terms of commentary (along with Spielberg too).

Anyways, just my $0.02 Canadian. ;)
