Because I provided no list for those who want to play along at home...
The Wikipedia listing for the 2007 top 100 movies list (and the original list) is here.
Obviously some of the movies that have been dropped are fairly indefensible, especially in terms of what replaces them. It's interesting to note that there are four movies made since the original list that are on here -- and they're Titanic, Lord of the Rings 1, The Sixth Sense, and Saving Private Ryan. Who would actually name these four movies as the four best American films of the last ten years? No L.A. Confidential? Wow.
Anyway, I don't want to linger on the larger list, because it is a discussion that would go on forever. So, I'll let you guys do it.

The Sixth Sense? Are you f'in kidding me?
Yeah, AFI, let's pull off Patton and A Place in the Sun, or Let's see...Guess Who's Coming To Dinner...or Birth of A Nation and replace it with The Sixth Sense.
I am now boycotting your list...
Oh MY GOD they pulled off GIANT? GIANT???!!! This? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049261/
AND REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE?
I am now boycotting the AFI. They should replace the phrase "AFI distributed a ballot with 400 nominated movies to a jury of over 1,500 leaders from the creative community" With: "AFI sent some ballots to morons like Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore."
(I have film anger)
The Sixth Sense blew.
Where's Sideways???
