Premiere Magazine's "100 Movies that Shook the World"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Rather than quibble with AFI’s list of 100 best American movies, Premiere Magazine decided to take a different tack: "Why not celebrate the filmmakers who dared to be ridiculous, offensive, or even (imagine!) unpopular, and who <i>still</i> came up with classics?" None of the following 100 films (in alphabetical order) were featured on <a href="http://www.listsofbests.com/list/22">AFI’s 100 Greatest list</a>, but they’re all noteworthy for their startling ideas and images.

If — 1 year ago

I changed the version of If… to the one on the 1001 movie list. It also has a picture, so it seems like a better choice.
