Premiere Magazine's "100 Movies that Shook the World"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Rather than quibble with AFI’s list of 100 best American movies, Premiere Magazine decided to take a different track: "Why not celebrate the filmmakers who dared to be ridiculous, offensive, or even (imagine!) unpopular, and who still came up with classics?" None of the following 100 films (in alphabetical order) were featured on "http://www.listsofbests.com/list/22" AFI’s 100 Greatest list, but they’re all noteworthy for their startling ideas and images.

If — 5 years ago

I changed the version of If… to the one on the 1001 movie list. It also has a picture, so it seems like a better choice.
