Re: 2007 AFI Selections No Atonement, though The Queen wasn't on the list last year either, so there's probably some debate on its American-ness. With that in mind, Diving Bell's placement is all the more amazing.
Knocked Up's placement is cool, though I think The 40-Year-Old Virgin made the list two years ago?
Overall, not too many surprises.

Re: 2007 AFI Selections They pretty much got it right.
Awesome for Diving Bell, Rat, and The Savages.

Re: 2007 AFI Selections awesome list! On top of expected likes No Country and TWBB, some of my favorites of the year, Ratatouille, Knocked Up, and The Savages make it in!  _________________ Retroviral VideosA film-based project created for the purpose of helping raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, specifically in South Africa.

Re: 2007 AFI Selections Good push for Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, it's lacking some support at the moment.
No Sweeney Todd, hm? Not very good. No Hairspray either. Do they have something against musicals. Charlie Wilson's War not making the list further confirms its rather dead status.
No American Gangster as well...
I'm not surprised about Knocked Up. Borat made their list last year too.

Re: 2007 AFI Selections That last year list is probably the worst top ten I've ever seen.
