46 out of the 100 movies isn't too bad. This list composed by the American Film Institute serves as a guide for me when I browse for rentals. I recommend you check out these motion pictures, because each one serves their purpose being so highly regarded in cinema history. How did I come upon these films you ask? Well in my senior year I enrolled in the course, Cinematic Literacy. It was a class where you basically watched movies the whole period. Sounds like the best class, right? Well for me it was. Not only did I get to have a class in the school's auditorium, while in the dark, we enjoyed movies spanning from the 1930s to the late 1990s. Afterwards we evaluated each movie within a journal discussing our likes/dislikes and the importance of the film. It taught me to appreciate a wide range of genres and actors. Emerging from this list The Godfather was one of those films shown in class, that is now my current top pick for favorite movies of all time. Keep an open mind and check these out next time you're out of ideas.
