This series began in 1998 with “100 Years…100 Movies” — a list of the 100 greatest American movies of all time, and has continued through 2008, when the AFI’s “10 Top 10″ list honored the top 10 movies in 10 classical film genres.

These 50 honored screen legends were presented by 50 contemporary film stars, bringing the total list of film stars to 100.
