Want to know the best AFI Top 100 movies? How about the worst AFI Top 100 movies? Curious about AFI Top 100 box office grosses or which AFI Top 100 movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which AFI Top 100 movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
In 1998, AFI (American Film Institure) invited more than 1,500 leaders from across the American film community – screenwriters, directors, actors, producers, cinematographers, editors, executives, film historians and critics among them – to choose from a list of 400 nominated films compiled by AFI and select the 100 greatest American movies. In 2007 they released an updated list….which means next year they will be updating the list again. Recently we complete a massive project that looked at the careers of the AFI Top 50 Screen Legends. One of the comments on that page suggested doing a Ultimate Movie Rankings page on the AFI TOP 100 movies….well….Steve Lensman here you go.
AFI Top 100 Movies Can Be Ranked 6 Ways In This Table

good list! a lot of work went into it. thank you love
Hey mimi…thanks for the nice words and thanks for stopping by
Hi
An incredible list of movies I’ve seen about 90 of them. For me ones that stand out would be Shane, the wee boy was fantastic. I don’t think Alan Ladd done anything better.
Bringing up Baby, Hepburn and Grant singing to the leopard.
King Kong 1933, it did incredible business for 1933.
The Philadelphia Story, which I seen the other week. It’s as smooth as a limousine. Every scene, every line, every actor all come across so well.
More up to date has to be Goodfellas and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Nickelson’s finest hour. Shawshank, probably the greatest prison movie ever.
There’s a couple of movies I would have to question. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf, after watching it once I don’t think I could stomach it again. Nevertheless, an incredible list.
Hey Chris….I agree with you about Ladd and Shane. Actually started to research Mr. Ladd….the good news on the first sweep of his movies…got lots of his movies with great sources for box office numbers….so his page will be coming soon. As for King Kong….this is the total of all of its re-releases. I read somewhere that Kong actually did better on it’s first re-release than it did on it’s first release. I used to not like The Philadelphia Story….probably because as a huge Cary Grant fan….I did not like his part so much….but as the years have passed it has become one of my favorite Grant movies…and I appreciate his performance much more. We agree on many of your comments….I found Va Woolfe a one and done movie for me….great acting but like A Streetcar Named Desire….I have no desire to spend two hours with the characters in the movie. Thanks for sharing your movie thoughts.
