This has become a bigger mess of favor exchanging than the actual AFI list had.
And oh, it had favors. How the fuck else did Yankee Doodle Dandy get on there?

This pairing brought to you by randomization:
Director: Victor Fleming Written by Sidney Howard Starring: Clark Gable, Viven Leigh, Hattie McDaniel Genre: Drama, History, Romance
Does not appear on 2012's Sight and Sound Polls #4 on 1998's AFI Top 100
Includes themes and character depictions which may be offensive and problematic to contemporary audiences. Epic Civil War drama focuses on the life of petulant Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara. Starting with her idyllic life on a sprawling plantation, the film traces her survival through the tragic history of the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction, and her tangled love affairs with Ashley Wilkes and Rhett Butler.
Trivia: Until her death on July 26, 2020 at 104, Olivia de Havilland was the lone survivor of the four principal leads since the death of Vivien Leigh in 1967. DeHavilland was the only major cast member to live to celebrate the 70th and 80th anniversaries of the picture's premiere on December 15, 2009 and 2019.
Director: Frank Darabont Written by Frank Darabont, based on the novella by Stephen King Starring: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman Genre: Drama
Does not appear on 2012's Sight and Sound Polls Does not appear on 1998's AFI Top 100
Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover and is sentenced to a tough prison. However, only Andy knows he didn't commit the crimes. While there, he forms a friendship with Red (Morgan Freeman), experiences brutality of prison life, adapts, helps the warden, etc., all in 19 years.
Trivia: Clancy Brown said that he had received several offers from real-life corrections officers to work with him, in order to make his portrayal of Captain Hadley more realistic. He turned them all down because Hadley was an evil character and he didn't want to misrepresent real corrections officers.
My Votes: Gone with the Wind: Keep, it's inflation-adjusted box office is reason enough to keep. The film was an undeniable cultural touchstone, despite how problematic it is. I don't think the problematic aspects can be excused, though, and the placement is probably lower in the top 100 Shawshank Redemption: Cut. It's a great movie, but i don't think it's top 100. Cult-popularity doesn't mean it should be on the list.

Gone with the Wind: Never been a fan of this movie. Even ignoring all the "problematic" stuff, I just think it's an overlong soap opera and most of what makes it "important" has less to do with artistry and more to do with the fact that they just spent a lot of money one it. Cut.
Shawshank Redemption: Certainly a good movie, but can I think of a hundred American films I like more? Yeah, I think I can. Cut.

I'm not a fan of Gone with the Wind, but the movie was a steady ticket seller for decades and is heavily ingrained into American film culture. I think it's one that needs to be kept.
Keep Shawshank because why not.

Also, 100 American movies better than Shawshank? Bitch, please. Stephen King nailed an ending! Sambucas all round.
