AFI: 100 Greatest American Movies

Introduction

Part of the AFI 100 Years... series, AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies is a list of critics' opinions of the best 100 movies in American cinema. The list was unveiled by the American Film Institute in 1998. The American Film Institute polled more than 1,500 artists and leaders from the film industry to compile the list. It is the first in the AFI 100 Years... series of cinematic milestones. It was released in video in 2 versions – a 145 minute version, which aired on CBS, and a 460 version available only on video. As with other major awards, such as the Academy Awards, the list of those who voted and the final vote tally has not been released to the public.

The list was updated in 2007.

The following Hitchcock were nominated, but did not reach the final list:
