100 Greatest Films of the 20th Century
When Filmsite, also called "Greatest Films," was first created in mid-1996 by reviewer/author Tim Dirks, the end of the century was fast approaching. It was imperative to choose 100 of the most influential, highly-rated, and defining films of the 20th century. There were some criteria (English-language, theatrically-distributed, narrative feature films), and films had to have stood "the test of time." Now that we're coming up to the end of the first decade in the new millenium, AMC and Filmsite decided to let viewers rank the 100 Greatest Films in that list. It may help us to refine our choices, reconsider the original choices, or reinforce what exists. Visit the AMC site to voice your opinion on the 100 Greatest Films of the 20th century.

In the mid-1990s when it was first launched, Filmsite.org was one of the first websites to initiate the trend to select 100 Greatest Films in the history of cinema.
Film critic and columnist Roger Ebert, author of The Great Movies (2002) and The Great Movies II (2005), has made many detailed references to Filmsite.org in his Chicago Sun-Times "Answer Man" column and in his many writings about the Great Movies. He has written that the site is "an invaluable repository of movie descriptions and dialogue" and that it is an "awesome website [that] contains detailed descriptions of 300 great American films, along with many other riches."
