Setiap orang tentunya punya versi tersendiri bila ditanya tentang apa
film terbaik yang pernah ditontonnya. Kali ini, American Film Institute
menurunkan film-film terbaik sepanjang sejarah dalam versi mereka dalam
tajuk “AFI’s 10 Top 10”.
Pilihan AFI ini didasarkan kepada pilihan seribu lima ratus juri dari
kalangan artis, kritikus dan sejarahwan. Film-film yang masuk nominasi
dikelompokkan dalam sepuluh kategori, mulai dari film animasi hingga
film epic.
Namanya juga film-film terbaik sepanjang masa, tentunya semua film, yang
dari jaman jadul sampai sekarang masuk hitungan. Masuk akal jadinya,
jika film To Kill o Mockingbird produksi tahun 1962 yang menjadi
pemenang untuk genre Courtroom Drama, kurang dikenal anak jaman
sekarang. Padahal film ini mengalahkan Kramer Vs. Kramer (1979) dan A
Few Good Men (1992) yang lebih populer.
Lihat pula, misalnya The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of Ring
(2001), yang harus puas bertengger di posisi dua, di bawah The Wizard of
Oz (1939) untuk genre fantasi. Sementara itu film legendaris The
Godfather (1972) bertahta di kursi nomor 1 genre gangster dan sekuelnya
The Godfather Part II (1974) di urutan ketiga, hanya dikalahkan oleh
Goodfellas (1990)
Dari seluruh film pilihan, sutradara Alfred Hitchcock menempatkan empat
filmnya di dalam daftar. Sementara Steven Spielberg dan Stanley Kubric,
masing-masing tiga film.
