American Film Institute names their ten films top of the page and the year TV series

How the IFA love their selections for ten movies top and the series of the year? Sufficient that they made their own promotional video to announce their selections. I find kind of stupid, really. But if you want a quick overview of what he thinks the u.s. industry is on the right and then doing so is a good starting point. Selections are listed alphabetically instead of being ranked. You agree and disagree with these lists? What should it not?
