www.afi.com
AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies – 10th Anniversary Edition is an updated edition to AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies, a list of the top 100 greatest American films of all time. Honoring the 10th anniversary of this award-winning series, a jury of 1,500 film artists, critics and historians determined that CITIZEN KANE remained the greatest movie of all time. The television special AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies – 10th Anniversary Edition originally aired June 20, 2007 on CBS.

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.

    …the Lego Batman movie is better than Citizen Kane.

    Wow. That has got to be the most punk rock thing I’ve read in a while! My sincerest compliments! 🙇 I’m almost envious I hadn’t said it first!

    …I have no idea why this one gets so much recognition to this day.

    Judging by the list that preceeds your audacious statement, that while I don’t necessarily agree with all of your choices, it appears you’re a person of a certain sensibility regarding film. With that, I say confidently, don’t worry. One day you will understand why Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane is considered seminal cinema.

    BTW, I thought The Lego Batman Movie was cute. AFI 100 Greatest American Films material, no. Cheers!
