Boring "special" showing clips from AFI's picks of the top 100 films of the century (1898-1998). The narration is (to be nice) insipid, the categories films are put in are truly mystifying ("All About Eve" in the monster category?????) and there are some really stupid choices ("Dr. Zhicago????" Come on!) My biggest complaint is that they show all the movies full frame. With some of the old movies that's fine, but when we get to big-budget wide-screen epics like "Ben-Hur" and "2001" it makes no sense! They should be shown letter-boxed. The chariot scene they show from "Ben-Hur" is virtually incomprehensible. Boring, stupid, bad choices, lousy full frame...a real disappointment. Don't bother.
