AFI just did another of their top 100 lists, AFI’s 10 Top 10, giving us their top ten flicks in ten different genres (animation, romantic comedies, westerns, sports, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, gangster, courtroom drama, and epic) —which, of course, led to me and my friends at the Captain Comics board creating our own lists for those categories and more…

And then Entertainment Weekly gets a list of movies up: the top 100 movies of the past 25 years. And then Neil Gaiman points to another (non-movie, thankfully) list from EW (which, okay, I could’ve just seen from the sidebar on their previous list): the top 100 books of the past 25 years.

And suddenly I find myself swimming in things I haven’t seen or read. And that’s not even counting the other lists that have been on my “you should see these” radar: the winners of the Best Picture Oscar, and the AFI’s 100 best movies.

*sigh* If I were a smarter man, I’d just ignore everyone’s lists…
