An exercise in presumption.

Since I am apparently devoid of inspiration and energy for the time being, I'll fill in with a crack at the AFI 100 Movie List meme (hat tip to Darwin Catholic).

1) Your favorite five movies that are on the list.

Duck Soup
Fantasia
Singin' in the Rain
The Maltese Falcon
The Wizard of Oz

2) Five movies on the list you didn't like at all.

I've only seen 29 of the 100. While it may be too strong to say of any of them that I didn't like them at all, there are 5 that I am not interested in seeing again:

Apocalypse Now
Bonnie and Clyde
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Doctor Zhivago
M*A*S*H

3) Five movies on the list you haven't seen but want to.

An American in Paris
It Happened One Night
Jaws
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Vertigo

4) Five movies on the list you haven't seen and have no interest in seeing.

Annie Hall
Dances with Wolves
Midnight Cowboy
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Some Like It Hot
The Graduate
Tootsie

5) Your favorite five movies that aren't on the list.

Cinderella Man
Conan the Barbarian
Flash Gordon
The Incredibles
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Much Ado about Nothing
Twelfth Night
The Thing from Another World

Note: I do not mean to imply that any of these movies should necessarily have been on the list (some were made after 1998, some were not made in the United States, some were not noticed, and some had little or no impact; no matter, I like them).
