: : So, they've done Greatest Flick.... Actors and Actresses... now this year the AFI is compiling the 100 Funniest Films... alphabetically from ``Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein'' to ``Zelig.''
: : So whadda yah think? Do you think the Askewniverse will get recognition in the eyes of the AFI?
: : Personally I think that if Reservior Dogs is considered one of the greatest films of all time, then for Christ's sake, Clerks has a chance at breaking into this....

: But Reservoir Dogs is one of the greatest films of all times. Pulp Fiction is great as well, but there was a much better story in Dogs.
: I don't know where u guys got your info, but Reservoir Dogs was not in the AFI's top 100 films of all time. Hell, Pulp Fiction clocked in at #95 and most critics prefer it over Dogs (as do I; i wish Tarantino would have left some cut scenes in). Anyway, i think that Clerks does stand a chance of getting on the list, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
