Episode #248

The AFI Top 100 Starter Pack

You are invited to watch along with us over the next ten episodes! 100 Films is quite the mountain to climb. We understand exactly how overwhelming watching that many movies can feel. So . . . we made a list of just 10 films as a much smaller, much easier, much more digestible way to dip your toes into the AFI Top 100. We’ll watch, discuss and break down this ever-so-manageable sampling of the full list, and hopefully–like us–you’ll emerge with a better understanding of film and storytelling, and a desire to go and watch the rest.

Here’s the list:

1. Rear Window (1954)

2. Goodfellas (1990)

3. Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)

4. The Gold Rush (1925)

5. Citizen Kane (1941)

6. Apocalypse Now (1979)

7. Jaws (1975)

8. The Wild Bunch (1969)

9. The Graduate (1967)

10. Swing Time (1936)
