America’s films are among its greatest exports. Since Thomas Edison’s innovations in the medium in the 1890s, the United States has consistently been a powerhouse in the development of cinema – from the massively popular entertainments of Hollywood to independent and avant-garde film. In recognition of the astounding influence of the US on what remains the most popular art-form worldwide, BBC Culture has polled 62 international film critics to determine the 100 greatest American films of all time.
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
Outer Range Season 2 Review: This season is as insane and slow as the last part and doesn't attempt to answer any questions, while adding on to those of the last one.
Monster Review: While this film delivers elements of horror and thriller, they're only sporadically effective, leaving the overall experience falling short of expectations.
Dumb list. Citizen Kane was highly influential and revolutionary, but it is not the greatest American film of all time. These lists should partially be decided on how entertaining they are and how much people actually like them. Ask anybody what they're favorite film is and nobody will say "Citizen Kane" without saying it was influential and revolutionary.
Empire had the best list back in 2008. The top 5 were like:
1. The Godfather
2. Raiders Of The Lost Ark
3. Empire Strikes Back
4. The Shawshank Redemption
5. Jaws
Then the rest of the top 10 had the likes of Singin' In The Rain, GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, etc. It was a great list.
