AFI Top 100 Movies Of All Time
The AFI List Of The Top 100 Movies of All Time
A decade ago the American Film Institute came out with a list of the Top 100 American Films Ever Made -- soon after lists began popping up everywhere. Lists like The 100 Greatest Movies, The Top 100 Funny Movies, The Top 100 Horror Movies, The Top 100 Science Fiction Movies, The Top 100 Comedy Movies, The Top 100 Scary Movies, The Top 100 Anime Movies and even The Top 100 Adult Movies. I even ran across a site that offered The Top 100 Mexican Movies ... I guess they began to run out of ideas for lists.
It's obvious that these lists spark a lot of discussion about which are the best films made or the AFI would not have come out with an updated list and I must admit, they do spark my interest. On the other hand, how much could the AFI Top 100 Movies Of All Time have changed in just ten years? It seems a little bit too soon to update a list that is only ten years young, but, I guess if it worked once to get viewers to come to their site, it will work again. With that said, I have posted the updated list below.
I have also given you a link to our reviews of the best free movie download sites. Once you join one you will be able to download all of the films on all of these lists: The 100 Greatest Movies, The Top 100 Funny Movies, The Top 100 Horror Movies, The Top 100 Science Fiction Movies, The Top 100 Comedy Movies, The Top 100 Scary Movies, The Top 100 Anime Movies, The Top 100 Adult Movies and even The Top 100 Mexican Movies plus thousands upon thousands of other movies and free TV show downlads.
I have also given you links to the Netflix movie rental site and DVD Planet, one of the best fee based movie download sites online. Here is AFI's Top 100 Movies Of All Time. Enjoy!
