Continuing posting the latest AFI lists...
Sports
1. Raging Bull
2. Rocky
3. The Pride of the Yankees
4. Hoosiers
5. Bull Durham
6. The Hustler
7. Caddyshack
8. Breaking Away
9. National Velvet
10. Jerry Maguire
Jerry Maguire seems a little out of place on this list, as does The Hustler. And it just seems kind of weird that the top two movies are boxing movies.
Westerns
1 The Searchers
2 High Noon
3 Shane
4 Unforgiven
5 Red River
6 The Wild Bunch
7 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
8 McCabe and Mrs. Miller
9 Stagecoach
10 Cat Ballou
Each of these lists seem to have at least one odd choice on there. Cat Ballou and McCabe & Mrs Miller seem a little odd for this list but at least they're Westerns.
Gangsters
1 The Godfather
2 Goodfellas
3 The Godfather Part II
4 White Heat
5 Bonnie and Clyde
6 Scarface (1932)
7 Pulp Fiction
8 The Public Enemy
9 Little Caesar
10 Scarface (1983)
Seems like this one should really be called "Crime Movies" but they didn't ask me. My main problems with this list is that the way over-rated Scarface (1983 version) is on it. I just don't get the facination with the film.
To be continued...

Caddyshack is considered a sports movie?!?!
I mean, sure, it takes place at a country club, and there are a lot of scenes of people playing golf... but it doesn't really seem to fit on this list.
But... but ... Caddyshack is awesome!
That sports list is totally bogus. Any sports movie list that does not include Field of Dreams on it is not a complete list--or even close, really.
