I'm 20 minutes into this AFI 10 Top 10 special (10 genres, 10 movies each), and I've already called shenanigans.

HOW. HOW. HOW can you have a list of the greatest animated films of ALL TIME and NOT include Sleeping Beauty??!?!?! Come ON.

I was okay with some of the others, but I would have swapped out Pinocchio for Sleeping Beauty - pound for pound, it's just a better story, with far better animation. I mean, really.

And, as much as I'm not sure that Field of Dreams belongs in the "Fantasy" category (um, hi. Sports movie. Duh.) , I'll be damned if the last moment where Kevin Costner asks his dad if he wants to have a catch doesn't make me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. *sniff*

So far, though, the sci-fi list is right-on. KLAATU. BARRATA. NIKTO.

Re: Field Of Dreams

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, SISTER. I weep every single time.

Yeah. Just like I laugh every time the douchey brother looks up and sees the baseball players on the field and is totally and completely gobsmacked.
