Though I agree with you on certain points, I still think you’re a bit harsh. The reason why there’s only American films is because it’s the American Film Institute.
I would agree with you on Once Upon A Time In America, it really doesn’t get the plaudit it deserves, but as far as being on the AFI-list, I think a natural hinder may be that it’s partly non-American. The director and all the screenwriters are all Italian, though the producer and actors are American, so I really don’t know what nationality you’d consider it as.
Still, a horror list would be nice.
In the end, it’s only a list. I know it’s easy to be offended, but just keep repeating to yourself: it’s just a list, it’s just a list, it’s only a movie, it’s just a list. Yes, I did in fact just refer to The Last House On The Left.
