No surprises here. Take out The Big Sick and Wonder Woman, and replace with some combination of Darkest Hour, Phantom Thread, and/or none.

AFI is just a poor man's BFI, and putting Wonder Woman/Get Out/The Big Sick on the list just proves it.

Wonder Woman is lol, every decent thing it had going for it was ruined in the third act. Get Out is good so stfu. You didn't like The Big Sick? I thought I was the only one.

Maybe I'm speaking from a biased perspective as a Brit, but the BFI are genuinely great. Have you seen their restorations for Napoleon and Barry Lyndon? Almost puts Criterion to shame. Personally, I was already hating Woman Wonder before the third act (although it's understandable why those equally terrible last 30 minutes could be detrimental to the film as a whole for others). The praise for Get Out is seriously perplexing and people pushing it for any major awards is beyond laughable. It's one this-is-best-suited-for-a-short-sketch esque joke excruciatingly prolonged to feature length, even losing this cheap "satirical" edge through awkwardly unfunny racial stereotypes - basically rendering any meaning null and void in the process - and dropping the only "original" facet it has going for it; the comedy, because it turns into a full-on slasher during the third act. As for The Big Sick, eh....inb4 " I'm being too judgement and this is a silly thing to say" - but the poster is so infuriatingly obnoxious that I'm certain I'll hate the film. Seriously, though, it does look like total shit beyond that anyway (no Indian poo pun intended)

Seriously, though, it does look like total shit beyond that anyway (no Indian poo pun intended) it wasn't anything too good in the first two acts just relatively speaking, there is a huge drop in quality. Get Out isn't really a joke though, and it never really struck me as particularly funny any more than like The Lobster is. In fact, it felt like a softcore Lanthimos film in a way. Less so a comedy, more so a melodramatic thriller conveying a political statement within the confines of horror tropes. I don't know how the political subtext doesn't work for people in all honesty; that's what is more perplexing. I like how people pass it off for being "anti-white" or whatever despite themes clearly stressing the discrimination and oppression placed on black people by minority groups, including Asians, and even more so blacks put on themselves. The fetishization and exploitation of black people also works quite well in my opinion given the context. The meaning is all there and I don't know how verging into slasher is very different than the tone it had already set up since the first scene. The Big Sick mostly means well, but it is abundantly clear to me (someone dating a Pakistani) the writer/star is so blind to his own misogyny and glorification of the United States.

Coco and A Ghost Story were snubbed.
