As a teenager, the AFI's Top 100 Movies list played a massive role in shaping my cinephilia. Now as an adult, it's time to look back and consider what the list got right, what it got wrong, and how it plays into the larger project of The Film Canon. Drawing on both personal experience and academic criticism, this video essay examines the AFI Top 100 as a gateway to consider canon writ large.
