With movies becoming more about revenue instead of art, I turn to the AFI 100 Greatest Movies of All Time for a cinematic adventure. These movies changed the world, so what will they do me? Can I expand my mind and see all of them before January 2011?

# 98 Yankee Doodle Dandy
Well no one can deny that James Cagney was a helluva performer. The man could dance, sing and act but the movie just seemed like a two hour long concert. Number after number which was really entertaining but it seemed like there wasn't much in between the numbers, it was just like the boring little transitional chit chat crap they do during shows when they are changing scenery. It could be just be me, but as a movie, I couldn't really enjoy it. If they cut out the dialogue in between and simply had it as number after number (like sketches perhaps) I probably would've liked it, but I can't really grasp it as a movie.
