Groupings for what these movies really are:

OLD B&W MOVIES
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Swing Time
Bringing Up Baby
A Night at the Opera
Sunrise
Modern Times

TECHNICAL "ACHIEVEMENT" MOVIES
Toy Story
Titanic

SOCIOPOLITICAL "MESSAGE" MOVIES
Ben-Hur (Religion)
Do the Right Thing (Race)
Pulp Fiction (Drugs)
The Last Picture Show (Sex)
The French Connection (Drugs)
Sophie's Choice (Holocaust)
Platoon (Vietnam)
Easy Rider (Drugs)
All the President's Men (Nixon)

REGULAR OLD MOVIES
Blade Runner
Goodfellas
The Sixth Sense
12 Angry Men
Spartacus

So far, out of 22 movies watched, there are only 5 I can come up with for which you don't have to be either 80 years old or a political radical to enjoy. I'd put 3-4 of the "message" movies on my list anyway, but the others had serious help from people more concerned with agendas than movies. I already hate the AFI. Who knows what this will look like by the end.
