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.

As a non American nor English native speaker, this list has helped me to discover great movie. I have watch every movie from the list. And i wish in other Universe i will be the one who directed or starred in one of those movie!

I have my own bias loving Scorsese, Coppola, Polanski, Tarantino, and recently Jordan Peele, and for actor like Denzel, Al Pacino, Brando, Hoffman, Viola Davis as well as healthy amount of dislike for Fred Astaire like actors and franchises by Spielberg & Lucas (maybe because it is too foreign for me to relate).

But i think it is OK to prefer one movie over the other. And in all fairness i think everyone will have their own favorite movie list. So yeah just enjoy watching every movie you wanna see.
