AFI's newest list of 100 bets movies

The last list was ten years ago...the "new" movies on the list since 1990 or so are Saving Private Ryan, Toy Story, the Shawshank Redemptionand The Sixth sense and Fellowship of the Ring (NOT the much better Return of the King, or the trilogys? DUH)
Forest Gump, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Titanic, Silence of the Lambs, and Unforgiven.

Did I mention that M*A*S*H* was number 54? The name Finest Kind Clinic and Fishmarket comes from the book MASH...actually from MASH in MAINE, the book's sequel, where Hawkeye set his clinic up over a Fishmarket. The doc who wrote the books was still a surgeon in Maine when I worked in Massachusetts, and when the movie came out, he became a bit of a celebrity.
