AFI 100 Years...100 Thrills
Since The American Film Institute's (AFI) list of 100 Movies to See in the Past 100 Years was so popular, they created several other lists as well, including 100 Years...100 Cheers, 100 Years...100 Laughs, 100 Years...100 Passions - and this one, 100 Years...100 Thrills.
1,800 "leaders in the film community" were provided ballots, and these are the films picked as the 100 most thrilling American films from 1923-1999, regardless of genre. They are listed here in order of their appearance on that list.
