As faithful readers are no doubt aware, we here at The Screengrab are cuckoo for Top Ten lists (and even Top Five and Top Sixteen lists), including The Top Five Black Presidents of the Silver Screen, The Five Kinds of Twist Endings, The Top Ten Barroom Scenes (not to be confused with The Top 15 Movie Bars), The Jailbait Sweet Sixteen, The Top Twelve Tough Jews of Cinema, The Twelve Greatest Movies Based on TV Shows, The Top 5 Hits and Misses of Summer 2008, The Ten Sexiest Guy Geeks and The Ten Sexiest Nerd Girls in Cinema, to name our Top Ten recent examples.
Now it seems the American Film Institute has contracted decaphilia as well, supplementing its list of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time with this year’s listing of the Top Ten Greatest Films in Ten Classic Genres.
The films themselves will be revealed in a CBS special hosted by cinema legends Jessica Alba and Jennifer Love Hewitt (among others) on Tuesday, June 17th – at which point YOU, yes YOU could become the lucky winner of a cool thousand dollars of Best Buy swag!
All you have to do is go to the AFI website by June 16 and enter the 10 Top 10 Sweepstakes, wherein you must correctly guess the Top Ten Films in the aforementioned classic genres: Romantic Comedy, Fantasy, Mystery, Epic, Western, Sports, Animation, Gangster, Sci-Fi, Drama (hint: we’re guessing Citizen Kane is the free space on this particular Bingo card).
