There were 13 foreign-language films in the 2013 list.
Only two animated films made the list: Disney’s Bambi (1942) (at # 14) and Pixar's Toy Story (1995) (at # 22).
The earliest film in the top 100 was Sunrise (1927) (at # 30), while the most recent film was The Hurt Locker (2009) (at # 74).
In Filmsite's opinion, the most startling films to appear on this 100 Greatest Movies list were Frankenstein (1931), All the President's Men (1976), American Graffiti (1973), Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dazed and Confused (1993), Woodstock (1970), Rushmore (1998), and Diner (1982), when one considers the rankings and what was missing.
