In 1998 the American Film Institute (AFI) made a list of the top 100 American films made in the first 100 years of American cinema (1896-1996). Movies produced after 1996 were not included. The top ten movies (according to the AFI) are listed in random order, but with AFI rank following. I immediately knew something was wrong when I noticed there were no zombie movies. Also, no movies starring Mel Gibson, and no movies featuring the top grossing actor of all time, Samuel L. Jackson. Obviously, the AFA omitted a few good movies, and there have been some good films released 1996. I’ve added some additional movies to the list, which were either great movies and/or made a lot of money (marked with a “*”). Vote for the movies which you think belong on the top ten list. Select up to 10 movies from this list.

Everybody knows that you can’t get any more “American” than apple pie. We also know that man does not live by bread alone… But could man live by pie alone? And if so, what kind of pie would that man (or woman) prefer?
