Inflation

The latest AFI top ten lists contained mostly worthy films. But look at these#1's:

Westerns, "The Searchers"; sports, "Raging Bull"; courtroom drama, "To Kill a Mockingbird"; epics, "Lawrence of Arabia"; and mysteries, "Vertigo."

All of these films are overrated. Most of them I don't even think are good. I keep hoping their inflated reputation comes down a bit, but I guess not this round. (And speaking of rounds, is Raging Bull really a sports movie?)
