AFI's 10 Top 10 is a list of the 10 greatest movies in 10 classic American film genres: Animation, Courtroom Drama, Epic, Fantasy, Gangster, Mystery, Romantic Comedy, Science Fiction, Sports and Western.
To compile the final list, AFI distributed a ballot with 500 nominated movies (50 per genre) to a jury of over 1,500 leaders from the creative community, including film artists (directors, screenwriters, actors, editors, cinematographers), critics and historians.
The first 10, in order, are the Top 10 selected.
