99. “Toy Story” (1995)
100. “Ben-Hur” (1959)

I disagree with the list, of course, or I don't understand what they mean by "top" films. I'd definitely place a Star Wars movie on that list (edit: in the top 10), for example. Not a single movie in the top 10 was released during the last 10 years and only one was released in the last 25. According to Cinematical the following movies were on the last list but dropped for this incarnation:

Doctor Zhivago
Birth of a Nation
From Here to Eternity
Amadeus
All Quiet on the Western Front
The Third Man
Fantasia
Rebel Without a Cause
Stagecoach
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Manchurian Candidate
An American in Paris
Wuthering Heights
Dances With Wolves
Giant
Mutiny on the Bounty
Frankenstein (1931)
Patton, The Jazz Singer
My Fair Lady
A Place in the Sun
Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
Fargo

6/22 update:

DailyFilmDose has a comment on the list, including how the voting is done and breakdowns by decade and director. They also reference the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound Top 10 poll, which includes foreign films. 6 of the movies appear on the AFI list.

GreenCine comments here. They have links to several other sites that are discussing the new list.

Film Experience Blog offers its take here. I do not subscribe to that blog feed but happened across it and noticed this post.

The filmsnoir blog has something to say about the neglect of the Film Noir genre in the list. According to their information 22 of the films noir on the ballot didn't get in. Including Laura. And Rear Window.
