These "Worst Scenes from the Worst Films Ever" clips went up two months ago -- proof positive that HE is one of the hottest quickdraw sites on the net. (The getting-eaten-by-a-super-shark scenes are the best...obviously.)

It may have taken two months but goddamn it was worth it. That's one of the greatest things I've ever seen on YouTube.

There's mighty strong competition from "Why don't I take you home and ..."

I guess that "Why don't I take you home" line could be considered a lead-in to a getting-eaten-by-a-shark scene.

The Sequel, like most, is not nearly as good:

It does still feature some gems, including a very recent moment of intense pain.

Jeff might post on this later but, I'll jump the gun and list the movies that definitely DON'T BELONG on the new AFI Best American Films list:

8. "Schindler's List," 1993.
22. "Some Like It Hot," 1959.
26. "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," 1939
40. "The Sound of Music," 1965.
50. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," 2001.
51. "West Side Story," 1961.
69. "Tootsie," 1982.
71. "Saving Private Ryan," 1998.
72. "The Shawshank Redemption," 1994.
73. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," 1969.
80. "The Apartment, 1960.
89. "The Sixth Sense," 1999.
91. "Sophie's Choice," 1982.
99. "Toy Story," 1995.
100. "Ben-Hur," 1959.

At least they took some crap off of the old 1998 list like Amadeus, Guess Who's COming to Dinner, Dr. Zhivago and Dances With Wolves.

Wow. That shark must be at least a hundred-footer. Jesus, that thing is HUGE. The film's worth preserving simply for a look at that monster. Bigger boat? Heck, they're gonna need the QE2 (now, sadly, dry-docked in Dubai). I say again: Wow.

I liked the Capote thing, but would have liked it more at half the length. Historically speaking? They weren't that cinematically hep in 1912. I'd peg that as 1919 at the earliest. It certainly post-dates "The Squaw Man," from 1914, in technique and location use. Also? That wasn't Truman Capote. It was Mae West.
