Toronto Film Festival Essential 100 - Page 3

It seems like only yesterday that the American Film Institute released their 100 Years…100 Movies list. Actually though, it was over 10 years ago when we first got our look at that “definitive” list of the 100 best American movies. They then did a ten year anniversary of it in 2007 with only minor adjustments and both years Citizen Kane held the number one place as the best American movie. Of course, the problem with those lists is that they only list American films. While Hollywood might be considered the epicenter of film, the art form itself spans the globe, way beyond American borders.

That’s why the Toronto International Film Festival came up with their Essential 100 movies. Created by merging lists made by Toronto Film Festival supporters along with another made by their programmers, these are supposed to be the 100 essential movies every cinephile must see.
