The American Film Institute has announced what they call the ten best films that      symbolize "excellence in narrative storytelling" for 2003.  The list is presented in alphabetical order since the institute doesn't believe in ranking the films against each other (how nice of them).  Dig the list.

The dtheatre crew feels the AFI probably made some sort of clerical error by including "Master and Commander" on the final list.  They probably meant to write "21 Grams" or "Elf."  Yeah, that must be what happened.
