This is not my list. According to the American Film Institute - www.afi.com - these are the 100 greatest movies of all time. Why some movies made and other didn't - you'll need to ask AFI about that. I've seen a large portion of these movies and I can see why most of them are listed here.

One of the women in my office looked at the list and counted 49 that she owned on DVD already. I think that's a bit exessive. I only own 22.

These list are only intended as fun. Great is in the eye of the movie watcher. But i thought it might be worth some discussion.
