Te AFI has posted their 100 Greatest Films of All Time. The AFI has seen fit to correct a previous error and has bumped Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo to #9 from #61. The three films that seemed to move up this most was Vertigo from #61 to #9, The Searcher from #96 to #12. I was happy and surprised to see Raging Bull move all the way up into the the top five, it really is one of the greatest movies of all time. It was nice to see something somewhat modern move ahead of the usual picks. Citizen Kane was the only film in the top ten that stayed in the same position from the last time AFI did this. You can see the original list here.
