100 Most Influential Films of All Time
100 titles |
Public
Welcome to Cinema Appreciation. This list of the 100 Most Influential Films of All Time is designed as an introduction to cinema appreciation and the impact that film has had on American art, culture and civilization. As such, the list is weighted towards American films and those non-American films that have impacted American culture. When a foreign film appears on the list it does not represent the best of a particular foreign genre, but rather the impact that film has had on American culture. Last updated by Cinema Appreciation Spring 2023.
This list them combines the four dominant ways that we can evaluate film objectively:
Greatest accomplishments in film history -Aesthetics of film -Film's impact on society -Technological advances in film -Film as business (commercial success)
Note: This list is not a 100 Greatest Films of All-Time as created by AFI, American Film Institute. In fact, every semester my film classes evaluate which films to eliminate from the list and which films to add.
