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.

    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.

      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.
