SideLines: Top 10 (or so) movies of all time

The Egyptian Theatre is showing the top 10 movies of all time as chosen by the American Film Institute. The movies, which are co-sponsored by Northern Illinois University and KishHealth System, will be shown every Tuesday in descending order.

The No. 10 movie, “The Wizard of Oz,” wasn’t shown, but the No. 9 movie, “Vertigo,” was shown last Tuesday. Upcoming films, which will be shown in descending order on Tuesdays, are: “Schindler’s List,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Gone With the Wind,” “Singin’ in the Rain,” “Raging Bull,” “Casablanca,” “The Godfather” and “Citizen Kane.”

While all of these are great movies, I’ve made up my own list of films. They may or may not be critically acclaimed, but I like them just the same.
