Films 101: "The 100 Best Movies of All Time"

Films 101:

The 100 Best Movies of All Time

The home page for Films101.com says, “the best movies of all time, picked by critics and filmmakers.” On their about page, it offers slightly more detail, saying that the Films 101 database “comes from all-time best movie lists and movie awards.” There’s no indication when the list was initially posted and how often or when it has been updated.

The website also offers ratings (again, with no explanation of where they come from), yearly top tens, and links for blockbusters, award winners, foreign films, genres, and more.
