EW's "100 Greatest Movies of All Time"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Greatest Movies of All Time, a hardcover guide published in 1999 by Time-Life Inc. and written by senior editor Ty Burr, celebrates films that can’t be forgotten, that "help us understand and define who we are." The final list was whittled down from a preliminary collection of 500 nominated choices, excluding short films, documentaries, or any movies from the previous five years. The final 100 choices deliberately corrected the American Film Institute’s most glaring omissions – Preston Sturges, Buster Keaton, and Ernst Lubitsch, and added some of the best foreign films – from Fellini, Truffaut, and Kurosawa.

DONE! — 3 years ago

I finally finished this list! It would’ve been done a couple of years ago if it weren’t so hard to find “Celine and Julie Go Boating.”
