My AFI Top 100

In their Wizard of Oz episode, the podcast “Unspooled” suggested taking the AFI Top 100 and making your own list. I can’t resist making a list. They’re doing the updated 2007 list, so I worked from that. Having started working through this list in 1997, I have seen all 100 as of October 3, 2024.

Then I realized there’s a bunch of movies on 1997 list I really like, so I folded them in to make my own Top 118 list of all the movies I’ve seen on both lists combined. It’s formatted like it so because of where I copied the lists from, but it works nicely to make the distinction. ALL CAPS is from the 2007 list, and the ones not in caps are movies left off the 2007 list.

I’m sure I’ll adjust this list the more I think about it, but here goes.

Dynasty Warriors

Putting aside for a moment the basic fact that the word "dynasty" in a sports context is a completely arbitrary term, the question for the moment is, "Are the Kansas City Chiefs a dynasty?" Before we dive into the question, let me forefront my bias. Not only am I a Patriots fan, but I deeply, deeply hate the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm not going to pretend this is a purely impartial analysis. As far as I'm concerned, though, it doesn't need to be impartial to be clear.

To define an NFL Dynasty, we have to look at the teams considered Dynasties. The 60s Packers, the 70s Steelers, 80s 49ers, 90s Cowboys, and the 2000-2019 Patriots. There are too many stats to compile, so let's just look at Super Bowls. The Packers won 5 Championships in 7 years, including the first two Super Bowls. The Steelers went 4-0 in six years, including two back-to-back wins. From 1981-1994, the 49ers went 5-0, under two different quarterbacks. The first four were enough for a Dynasty, but the fifth made the argument for the organization, not just special players like Joe Montana. The Cowboys went 3-0 in four years, and they did it in such dominating fashion, no one questions their dominance in such a short period of time.
