100 Best American Movies of All Time According to Stacker (2023 Update)

"Since the early 20th century, Hollywood has been the epicenter of the American film industry. Despite branching out beyond Hollywood, American film production still has a very firm hold on the consumption of cinema around the world. This includes countless contributions to film history's canon & singular visions considered to be some of the greatest art ever made. Stacker compiled data on thousands of American movies to come up with a Stacker score—a weighted index split evenly between IMDb & Metacritic ratings—that allowed us to rank the 100 greatest American movies. To qualify as American, the film had to be produced by American production studios, though this doesn't mean the film is necessarily in English or takes place on American soil. The film also had to have at least 5,000 IMDb user votes. Ties were broken by Metascore, & further ties were broken by IMDb user rating. Here are the best 100 American movies of all time, starting at #100 and counting down to #1." - stacker.com
