AFI 100

Each year, AFI presents another episode in its widely acclaimed series of CBS television specials — AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies, which launched AFI’s on-going celebration of the cinema centennial. Each special honors a different aspect of excellence in American film. This is my attempt at completing their list of the best movies. Every time I watch a movie on the list, I will write a review of that movie, and then tick it off the list.

On 20 June, 2007, they presented a new, updated version of their AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies called the 10th Anniversary Edition. Because of this, some movies have dropped off my list, and others have been added. I have added, in brackets, the movie’s position on the old list, as well as (at the bottom of this page), the movies that dropped out. I will not continue to watch and review the movies that dropped out.

You can still see the old version of my lists by clicking here.

Asides
  • I’m back from my vacation now (best.week.ever) and have some catchin up to do. In August, I will write those last IMDb250 reviews that I didn’t get to in July, and then I’ll get back to work on my Resolutions and the Alphabet Project.

  • As you’ve noticed, Shoot the Glass is undergoing spring cleaning at the moment. Sorry for the mess and thanks for your patience.
