AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition)

[BioHunter1990]

These are certainly the best examples of film. Film is an art, and these are the works of the masters. Film is everlasting...I have always loved it, and I always will.

[bellotti8101]

I'm disappointed that neither Fight Club, Requiem For a Dream, City of God, or Good Will Hunting made the cut. I think those should be at the top of the list. it's kind of gay that like over half the movies they put on here are gay 1950's movies that I've never scene. They should make a '1960 - Present Time' one next.

[erikbateson]

@bellotti8101 I no right? Like why doesn't they just have movies made in the last week? Who wants to watch all those boring old people movies?

[LukeLovesRose]

@batmaneb

Because everyone was riding the Titanic-hate bandwagon for 10 years. Now, Titanic is making a comeback, I think.

Personally, I think #83 is outrageously low for Titanic.

[laksmist]

goodfellas,pulp fiction,do the right thing,blade runner and toy strory deserve a good place

[hLofA14]

@erikbateson Eh, I would move Raging Bull down

[SupaNamincoUnleashed]

wow AFI put Silence of the Lambs and The Sixth Sense in the top 100 films of the year? I wonder why The Exorcist isn't on this list.

[PrestoAgitatoPSH]

@SupaNamincoUnleashed I was wondering the exact same thing!

[theAquaticPopTart]

@batmaneb Because there are 82 better movies. 8P

[LightStijn]

@redsoxfan11495 How the hell can't you like The Godfather? Citizen Kane, on the other hand, well... it does tend to drag.

[KilldozerRocks]

I can see that this list was made by a film school school student failing to pass a test. It's filled with out of order classics, a few recent blockbusters, and some old obscure stuff to try and make it seem intelligent. I love The Graduate, but is it really better than Apocalypse Now or On the Waterfront.

[hivernales]

Well a list is a list is... a list. It has no value at all, it's just an opinion. Having said that, some great movies here. You really like cinema.

[motorysed]

And the Godfather Part II at 32?! It should be at least in the top 10!

[motorysed]

Apocalypse Now and Chinatown should be at 10s! and The Shawshank Redemption should be closer! And Goodfellas at the 90s? it should be at the 20s, as wwell as Saving Private Ryan! And The Exorcist isnt even here!

[eaglestalon92]

was the first on here from schindler's list?

[griffin324]

singin' in the rain was not THAT good. i think lawrence of arabia, gone with the wind, schindler's list, and vertigo are better films. and they really need to adjust pulp fiction.

[TheHuntleyHaverstock]

sunrise won 3 oscars, best actress, best cinematography, and best unique/artistic picture

[web77s]

That is one goofy list. Did I miss it - or is Gone with the WInd not even mentioned?

And Pulp Fiction? Good as Raging Bull was, top 100? Everyone involved with Clockwork Orange said they were disappointed with the screenplay.

Well, if they're going use the dartboard methods - let me toss a few darts for the top 100:

Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

My Fair Lady, Audrey Hepburn

Miracle on 34th Street

The Thing, Howard Hawkes dir.

Brian's Song

Dr. No

And so on

[griffin324]

@web77s gone with the wind is number six.

[jowoltma]

How is it that Star Wars and E.T. are closer to No.1 then 2001, and yet A.F.I. consider 2001 the greatest sci-fi movie of All-Time ?

[KilldozerRocks]

@jowoltma Not that I want to defend AFI, they're a bunch of idiots, but that could be because they consider Star Wars and E.T. better movies, but 2001 to be a better movie in the genre of sci-fi. Sort of like how Saving Private Ryan is a better war film than Gone With The Wind.

[3d40Mmhz827]

why isn't the great dictator on here! do they update this every year? I saw a actual movie version of this in film class.

[PIKlynch]

i knew which would be the top 2 before i even began watching the video......citizen kane and the godfather, the two most overrated films in history!!!! it´s just that simple

[bellainmyheart]

Ben Hur and Pulp Fiction should be way up higher!

And WTF is Toy Story doing there?

[greenteawithcitrus]

Toy Story is there for the same reason as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Citizen Kane, and hell, probably a good majority of the films on this list. They were revolutionary for their time. Now, it seems that anyone can make a CGI film (not necessarily well, however), but at the time, this was a brand new technique, and Toy Story is recognized as the beginning of this animation movement.

[LightStijn]

Pulp Fiction? What the hell? Pulp Fiction is without any doubt the most overrated film ever.

[KilldozerRocks]

@LightStijn You're wrong.

[LightStijn]

@KilldozerRocks No, I'm not. Pulp Fiction is a brilliant movie, but it's terribly overrated too. Where would Quentin be without Martin Scorsese and Sergio Leone? Nowhere.

[brcx300]

I can not believe that Titanic is on here and The Exorcist is not!

[bellainmyheart]

I agree!

[irish89055]

Ben Hur number 100, Toy Story 99.. what insanity....

[TexanComedian]

Citizen Kane Should not be number 1, Casablanca was a million times better.

[x13mako]

before you comment on some of the placement remember this is a vote not one guy saying where stuff should go

[opieandanthony34life]

how about the good the bad and the ugly

[x13mako]

that wasn't an American movie

[Rarab2]

Italian.

[snatch256]

the french connection should've been at least in the top 20

[AndOfTheDeath]

Oh...I just noticed something. Have you noticed that most of the movies on this list are newer? I wonder why...

[jrmyxjrmy]

dude, what are you talking about?

[AndOfTheDeath]

What I'm talking about is they're trying to appeal to a younger crowd.

[AndOfTheDeath]

Why is frigin Toy Story in front of Ben-Hur?!

[NillumNaes]

Probably because it was the first movie to only use computer animation

[dmanfunk123]

pulp fiction should've been higher

[snatch256]

i agree

[grumpytosnowwhite]

This list is awful. The original AFI 100 movies (this one is the 10th anniversary edition), was really, really accurate and good. This one has glaring errors. I mean come on, "Raging Bull" at #4? It was a very, very good movie, but not THAT good.

[Kane987245]

Uh..dude, unless you were there when it actually came out, i don't think your in position to question that.

[Rarab2]

What the hell does that have to do with it? It only came out 30 years ago. There are people on here that were around, and it doesn't matter anyway.

[bobbi4richie]

No Scarface, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, The Insider, very strange...........

[mawyera24]

I'm guessing your a Pacino fan, right

[dakw92]

Why the hell did you put white writng in frony of all the pictures

[harrietamidala1691]

what music did you use for this video?

[imemine92]

schindler's list soundtrack, by john williams

i didnt make it btw

[ScribbleDreams]

Wait, that last song, wasn't that from Pan's Labyrinth? Nit Schindler's list?

[megantrumpet10]

I think the sound of music should be in the top ten!! and i think it should beat Snow white and the seven dwarves

[Kane987245]

yea alot of these movies that are lower than other are better. Snow White doesnt touch Music,

[rjohnson21]

I'm sorry but I disagree - Snow White changed the film industry forever!

[Kane987245]

For maybe Disney but not for all over the industry. If you can prove to me that The Godfather should take a back sit to lets say shawshank redemption you let me know.

[MissEyeliner92]

Snow white was the first full length animation movie.  It kinda revolutionized the movie industry

[yasirrajputbhatti]

its unfair for "ben hur" and "shawshank redemption"

[kcholt68]

A Movie Dearest blog featured video. See my profile for the link and playlists!

[lowonthehill]

lol Citizen Kane had only 1 academy award

[Kane987245]

it got screwed pout of best picture for its controversy. The movie that beat it it not even on this list.

[CinemaZebra]

Yeah that is kinda funny if you think about it. The oscars were obviously not as good in their earlier years to give it only one. :P

[lialyss]

this list sucks taxi driver 57?????????
