52 Best American Movies of the Twentieth Century (Reel Rundown)

"All of these classic movies are filled with unforgettable and iconic scenes. This list doesn't include movies made in the 2000s, because it's hard enough to produce a list covering an entire century. It also doesn't include silent films, which would be hard to compare to sound films or "talkies," though many silent films are decidedly good and even classics, especially some made by artists such as Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith or Buster Keaton. The list also doesn't include documentaries, which should be in a genre other than entertainment. Please keep in mind this compilation includes a few movies that have been remade but only includes the original sound version—with the exception of Titanic, which had many sound version predecessors going back to 1933." -reelrundown.com
