| Since I can't fit all the criteria in the explanation, I'll put it here. I know it's an obscure list, I myself didn't know several of these movies. However, the criteria, listed on AFI.com, is as follows:
1)FEATURE-LENGTH FICTION FILM
Narrative format, typically over 60 minutes in length.
2)AMERICAN FILM
English language film with significant creative and/or production elements from the United States.
3)CHEERS
Movies that inspire with characters of vision and conviction who face adversity and often make a personal sacrifice for the greater good. Whether these movies end happily or not, they are ultimately triumphant--both filling audiences with hope and empowering them with the spirit of human potential.
4)LEGACY
Films whose "cheers" continue to echo across a century of American cinema.
Hope this helps! |
