Movie Monday: Watch a movie on the AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movies List. Review it aftwards.
ByBack in 1998 the American Film Institute put together their list of the 100 Greatest Movies of All Time. Since that time they have made it a yearly event, creating a new list on different aspects of movies such as quotes and villains each year. In 2007, they released an updated 10th Anniversary Edition of their original list. You’ll find that below.
Personally, I have seen 28 movies on the list. Hit up Blockbuster or dust off a movie from your bookshelf and find a nice quiet spot to watch. When you are done, post a quick review.
I’d also be curious how many movies on the list other people have seen.
