Collecting movies of AFI best movies of all time (1 Viewer)

[Walter Kittel]

99 of them on DVD or Laserdisc with Bringing Up Baby being the only exception, and I believe I still have an old copy taped off of Turner Classic Movies somewhere. Obviously, I agree that all of the films on the list are worth seeing at least once.

Re: Kevin's question - all of them, but especially:

Lawrence of Arabia
Sunset Boulevard
The Grapes of Wrath
Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Double Indemnity
City Lights
The Searchers

- Walter.
