Copied from Sleestakk’s list. - Yay! Another bullshit list by the BBC. “BBC Culture polled film critics from around the world to determine the best American movies ever made.” Worth having here since this is basically kind of like a “Best-of” American film even if there are omissions and odd choices, esp. anything post-2000. Suppose it’s interesting to see what they compiled.
sensoria has logged 49 out of 100 movies in The 100 greatest American films. Back to Lists Overview.
