Last night, on CBS, the American Film Institute released a revised version of its Best 100 American Movies Ever Made list. Citizen Kane was #1, which is to be expected even though it’s wrong, with Casablanca at #2 and The Godfather at #3 (as opposed to #1, which is where it should have been). The crazy choice was #4, which used to be Gone With the Wind, by far the most popular movie ever made (in present-day dollars, GWTW has earned something like $1.6 billion). Now it’s…Raging Bull. What? Raging Bull? Martin Scorcese’s 1979 portrait of the animalistic boxer Jake LaMotta certainly features a towering performance by Robert DeNiro and a splendid supporting one by Joe Pesci. But the fourth best American movie ever? Maybe the most unpleasant American movie, yes — it’s tantamount to torture to sit through, because its depiction of a jealous, cretinous brute is so convincing. But better than Singin’ in the Rain, which may be the most delightful movie ever made? Come on. Oh, and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo is now in the top 10, which is certain to make film geeks delighted but is really far too silly to deserve such a high ranking.
