Gearing up for the next installment of its annual TV special under the banner of "AFI's 100 Years...", the American Film Institute has decided to play it again, Sam.
For the 10th edition of its yearly look at the best in American movies, the AFI will return to the theme of the first show broadcast in 1998, "AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies", and offer a new assessment of the 100 greatest movies of all time.
More than 1,500 jurors, drawn from directors, screenwriters, actors, editors, cinematographers, critics and historians, will be asked to make their choices from a list of 400 American, narrative feature films, including long-standing classics as well as newly eligible films released from 1996-2006. Of the 400 films on the ballot, 44, or about 11%, come from the last decade.
The results will be presented in a three-hour program, directed by Gary Smith, exec produced by Smith and Frederick S. Pierce and produced by Dann Netter and Bob Gazzale, which will air on CBS in June.
