Home - Hal and Dee at the Movies - Top 100 Film Lists | Mail Hal C F Astell - Site Map |
After the success of their 100 Years... 100 Movies list, the American Film Institute proceeded to churn out another list every year. Some are more abstracted than being merely 'best films' lists, celebrating songs, heroes and villains or movie quotes, but a few aimed to identify the best American films in certain genres.
This one tried for the funniest American films of all time. It aired on CBS on 13th June, 2000 with Drew Barrymore as the host.
The source list can be found here.
