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 seems like pretentious bullshit, honestly. Of all 100 movies, none of them are made within the last 20 years.

There is a strong bias towards black and white movies here, and of course the mandatory Citizen Kane is at the top. I found it mediocre by todays standard, extremely slow and boring.

The list was last updated in 2007.
