My List of the American Film Institute Top 10 by Film Genre

The previous edition of this video was removed by Youtube for a copyright problem on the first track so that one has been replaced with a track from Mary Poppins' soundtrack. Thanks to all of you who viewed and commented on the previous video. I've also done a bit more viewing of some of my choices and have decided that City Lights would be much higher on the Rom-Com list however I decided to leave the video.

Edit: The Third Man was directed by Carol Reed not Orson Welles, just a bit of a mix up on my part.

Original Description from Video posted on June 10th, 2008

The American Film Institute is releasing their list of the Top 10 movies of 10 popular film genres on June 17th of this year. The 10 Genres represented are; Animation, Fantasy, Gangster, Sci-Fi, Western, Sports, Mystery, Romantic Comedy, Courtroom Drama, and Epic. This video represents what my opinion of the 10 films should be for each genre. The films come from AFI's list of Nominated Movies. Your opinion may differ, and I'd be interested to read your opinion in the comments.

The images used were found using web images searches and a large amount of the images came from the following websites...

No Sergio Leone in top 10 western?

[bvon44]

Sergio's westerns were Italian films, this is a list of American films (from the AFI's list of nominated films)

[NillumNaes]

I like your sports list more than AFI.

Thanks, me too lol

[bvon44]

You're absolutely right, I called on that the last time about The Third Man and i probably should have corrected it before I reposted the video. Thanks for your comment.

The Third Man was NOT directed by Orson Welles,.It was directed by (Sir) Carol Reed.

[lintinhpac]

What's the name of the music from the animation part ( 1st part)?

[criscatlover]

That's the second one, right? I'm looking for the first song... It sounds like Chim Chim Cher-ee, but I can't find this instrumental anywhere :(

[EagleOnTheRhine]

"A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down..." :P

[kyobrien38]

You forgot Titanic.

[criscatlover]

I know the first song belongs to Mary Poppins' movie, but does someone know exactly what is its name?
