Capt. Frink, was Stripes ever considered a great movie? Not trying to be contentious, just curious. Not that threads ever stray or anything. :D

Sgt. VFP, look at some of the other movies that have been listed in this thread. I think some of us (myself included) are stretching the term "great movie" to include movies that are greatly popular or generally considered good by a lot of people.

The main exception being Zoolander, which for some reason is missing from the AFI 100 but should be somewhere around #8.
