For more than 100 years, movies have captured audiences' imagination and wonder, depicting true love, daring adventures, terrifying chills and gut-busting laughs. One could say it's a fool's errand to try and make a definitive list of the greatest movies in history, but honestly, we had so much fun ranking our 100 best TV shows of all time, we wanted to do it again with our personal 100 best movies of all time list.
I want to emphasize the "personal" part of that last sentence. While we considered a lot of factors in nailing down our top 100 — i.e., we're focusing on American/UK-made movies with historical significance and cultural impact — at the end of the day, these are all movies that first and foremost we absolutely love. We're not claiming this is the definitive list of the 100 best movies of all time — we recommend the Sight & Sound list and the American Film Institute Top 100 as good ones to know as well — but we hope that you enjoy our picks and if you haven't seen one of these movies you decide to give it a try.
