Ten years ago, the American Film Institute members voted on and ranked the top 100 American films of all time. 

This year, they did the same thing, taking a new vote:

In the CBS special "AFI’s 100 Years … 100 Movies — 10th Anniversary Edition," "Citizen Kane" held the same No. 1 billing it earned in the institute’s first top-100 ranking in 1998.

It’s actually a good movie for those millions who have never seen it.  Rosebud is his sled.  Oh, shit.  Spoiler alert!

There were notable changes elsewhere, though, with Martin Scorsese’s 1980 masterpiece "Raging Bull" bounding upward from No. 24 in 1998 to No. 4 on the new list and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 thriller "Vertigo" hurtling from No. 61 to No. 9 this time.

Charles Chaplin’s 1931 silent gem "City Lights" jumped from No. 76 to No. 11, while the 1956 John Ford-John Wayne Western "The Searchers" took the biggest leap, from No. 96 all the way to No. 12.

"City Lights" is one of my all-time favorite films, and I’m glad it got the hugh bump.  I’ve never seen The Searchers though.

Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 epic "The Godfather" ranked No. 2, up one notch from 1998, switching places with Michael Curtiz’s 1942 favorite "Casablanca," which dipped from second-place to third.

Both 1967’s "The Graduate" and 1954’s "On the Waterfront," which ranked Nos. 7 and 8 respectively in 1998, fell out of the top 10, "The Graduate" coming in at No. 17 and "On the Waterfront" finishing at No. 19.

The other five films in the new top 10 also were among the original 10 best, though they shuffled positions: 1952’s "Singin’ in the Rain (No. 5 now, No. 10 in 1998), 1939’s "Gone With the Wind" (No. 6 now, No. 4 in 1998), 1962’s "Lawrence of Arabia" (No. 7 now, No. 5 in 1998), 1993’s "Schindler’s List" (No. 8 now, No. 9 in 1998) and 1939’s "The Wizard of Oz" (No. 10 now, No. 6 in 1998).

Any new films this time around?

Older films that did not make the cut on the 1998 list broke into the top-100 this time, led by Buster Keaton’s 1927 silent comedy "The General" at No. 18. Others included 1916’s "Intolerance" (No. 49), 1975’s "Nashville" (No. 59), 1960’s "Spartacus" (No. 81), 1989’s "Do the Right Thing" (No. 96) and 1995’s "Toy Story" (No. 99).

Yay for "The General", another classic.  Not sure about "Toy Story" though.

Films that dropped out of the top-100 this time included 1965’s "Doctor Zhivago," which had been No. 39 on the 1998 list; 1984’s "Amadeus," which had been No. 53; 1977’s "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," which had been No. 64; 1990’s "Dances With Wolves," which had been No. 75; and 1927’s "The Jazz Singer," which had been No. 90.

What?  So "Toy Story" gets on, but NOT "Close Encounters"?  WTF???
