AFI’S 100 YEARS…100 MOVIES — 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
www.afi.com
AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies – 10th Anniversary Edition is an updated edition to AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies, a list of the top 100 greatest American films of all time. Honoring the 10th anniversary of this award-winning series, a jury of 1,500 film artists, critics and historians determined that CITIZEN KANE remained the greatest movie of all time. The television special AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies – 10th Anniversary Edition originally aired June 20, 2007 on CBS.

The American Film Institute proudly curates lists to celebrate excellence in the art form. We believe their greatest impact is to inspire personal, passionate discussions about what makes a great film and why and, also, to chart the evolution of the art form. Since its inception, American film has marginalized the diversity of voices that make our nation and its stories strong – and these lists reflect that intolerable truth. AFI acknowledges its responsibility in curating these lists that has reinforced this marginality and looks forward to releasing new lists that will embrace our modern day and drive culture forward.

    17/100 are from the 1960s, 20/100 from the 1970s. Seems like a lot of boomer pics to me.

    8 from the 1980s? Do they not count Terry Gilliam as an American? No Brazil?

    After Hours is an under rated classic.

    11 from the 1990s I guess, statistically, is fine.

    Only 1 film from the 21st century? And that one is from 2001?

    OK, I’ll grant you, the forced perspective of working together Hobbit, Dwarf, Human and Elf sizes all on screen at once was genius, but you expect me to believe no other film in the past 22 years makes the cut?

    No Christopher Nolan films? Heck, no Wes Anderson? No Christopher Guest?

    I get they probably don’t want to give a nod to comic book movies, but surely Ghost World, Road to Perdition, and History of Violence are worthy of some sort of recognition.
