Just The Good Stuff
People have been making movies for over 100 years. But it seems for every 'Godfather' movie there are three 'Porky's Revenge.' So how can you tell if a film has 'The Right Stuff?'
Well, if you're The American Film Institute you put together a blue-ribbon panel of over 1,500 Hollywood Professionals - screenwriters, directors, actors, producers, cinematographers, editors, film historians and critics - and have them choose from a list of 400 nominated films to select the 100 greatest American movies of all time.
