This is the one with the 2008 AFI 100.
Every year the American Film Institute lets people vote for the top 100 movies of all times. Here’s a PDF of the 2008 edition.
I guess it’s the Oscar buzz in the air that made me look up this list, and I’m going to make a conscious effort to watch as many of these movies as possible in the next year. The bolded movies are the ones that I’ve already seen. Un-bolded means I’ve yet to see it, or it’s been so long since I’ve seen it I’d like to watch it again.
This list will be updated as I watch some of these movies.
I have seen 65 of the 100. How many have you seen?
