Being a Brit. I've felt a little left out of the AFI 100 discussion - if I wasn't a member of this list I might not even know it existed. However, after reading Dave Trautman state that he 'looks forward to a BFI list ...' I thought he and others might be interested to know that the BFI have released a list. Not of 100 films, but 301 (if memory serves me correctly) selected by the archivist at the BFI. The emphasis here is not on video sales but on conservation and the production of film prints - which makes the list very significant. What interested me particularly with relation to the AFI is the emphasis. It has been criticised for its relative lack of emphasis on British films and its favouring of non-commercial/'art house films. It seems like a polar opposite and is therefore not without its problems. Anyone interested should look at June's Sight and Sound which included the list in its complete form and comments and criticism from academics and practitioners.
