AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies

America's 100 Greatest Movies
100 YEARS...100 MOVIES

Film Series



The American Film Institute in Los Angeles, California, in mid-June 1998 commemorated the extraordinary first 100 years of American movies by making a "definitive selection of the 100 greatest American movies of all time, as determined by more than 1,500 leaders from the American film community." The 400 nominated films in the original 1998 list were feature-length fictional movies produced between 1912 and 1996 "with the goal of amassing a capsule of the first 100 years of American cinema, across decades and across genres." Subsequent specialized series followed from 1999-2008.
