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.

This list is very unpretentious lol. I recognize everything they listed and have seen almost half of them. They are some the most famous films of all time. Also Citizen Kane is considered the best because it broke a lot of rules set by studios and it was copied by just about everyone. Cinema wouldn't be the same without it.
